Jesus was the Lamb who taketh away the sins of this world. The Bible describes Him as the good shepherd and the sheep knows this voice. And the voice of the stranger they know not. Anyone who is born by God or have salvation has come into the company of the sheep and the voice they know is the voice of God. He himself leads the sheep. That is He has given us the Holy Spirit to lead us and brings us to God without spot or wrinkle.
