Sheep, Sheeple and Goats


Very few of those who profess to be Christians are truly followers of Jesus Christ. Amongst the flock there are sheep, and sheep, and there are also goats. Not all of the sheep are His sheep. His sheep are the ones who LISTEN to His voice and who FOLLOW Him and who DO what is pleasing to Him.
There are other sheep also. Sheep follow sheep. Some believers think that if they follow the true believers that they will also enter the kingdom of heaven but you can only be pleasing to Jesus if you are one of HIS sheep, if you listen to His voice and you follow Him. Those other sheep do not listen to His voice. They are the ones who sit in church, who follow the wolves in the pulpits. They are manipulated and exploited by the hirelings.
Amongst the flock there are also goats. Goats follow their own mind. They are very clever. They think that they can make it on their own onto the kingdom of heaven. They are self righteous and selfish. They justify their selfish deeds, their wickedness, their own opinion, with scripture (bible verses), but they have no relationship with Jesus Christ. They are self righteous and many of the sheep also follow them, they are exploited by them.
The day is coming when the Good Shepherd will separate the sheep from the goats and He will also separate His sheep from the other sheep. Are you one of HIS SHEEP, those who follow Him, who OBEY Him, who LISTEN and who DO what is pleasing to Him? Because they are the ones who will enter into His kingdom. The rest will perish.
May Jesus bless you.
