John 10:4. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, -
Christ never drives his sheep, he leads them. As the Eastern shepherd always goes before his sheep, so does the Saviour go before his flock: "He goeth before them," -
John 10:4. And the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
Christ’s sheep are marked in various ways. They are marked on the foot:
"the sheep follow him." And they are marked in the ear, "for they know his voice." They follow the track of their Shepherd, and they give heed to the voice of their Shepherd; and by these tokens they are known to be his sheep.
