We Hear Christ's Voice but Do We Listen?

The sheep and the shepherd. It’s a romantic notion. But today’s sheep ranchers have a Bluetooth headset in the ear, a smart phone attached to a belt, a Venti Mocha perched desktop alongside a GPS receiver. The shepherd sits remote from the flock in a warm ranch house, a crook exchanged for a mouse, perhaps playing a game of solitaire while still on the clock. As Jesus calls to his sheep, we may hear the voice but do we listen?
