John 10:4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

You get to know the voice of your parents and your friends and can often pick them out in a crowd just by their voices.

These are typically the voices of the people you can trust and you listen to them when they talk or tell you something.

We must get to be a good friend of Jesus so we can recognise His voice when He talks – not always easy of we don’t listen to Him enough!

Genesis 8:6 After forty days Noah opened a window he had made in the ark

How many times do you try to do something before you give up because it keeps failing?

We all have our limits in our faith and we are all different. Noah was not in the mood to give up on everything despite having said goodbye to the world as he knew it!

God always keeps his promises and wants us to have faith enough to believe that and trust that – always!

John 6:66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.

What did you do when following Christ got a bit uncomfortable?

Jesus did not promise us an easy-going life when we chose to follow Him; He warned us of the opposite!

When Jesus turn round and said many of His followers at the time were not real believers, many did turn away because Jesus was not encouraging them.

Just because life gets difficult, does not mean you should turn your back on it – the same goes for a life with God!

John 6:52 Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’

Can you imagine what was going through some people’s minds as they heard Jesus telling them they should eat the flesh of the Son of Man!

We can look back fondly on words like this and know Jesus was not being literal when He said this, but they did not have hindsight at that time!

We must accept that Jesus is giving us everything we need to live in Heaven with Him – we have to decide what we do with this truth!
