“I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.” – John 10:14 . “The Lord Jesus Christ is the door I pass through to come to you. Through Him I have access to your hearts rather than to your homes. I enter through the Lord. He is the Lord within me and he is the One you desire to hear. Why do you seek to hear the Lord through me? Because you are His flock and you have been bought by His Blood. You know your worth – it is not paid through me; yet I am the instrument that preaches Him. It is He, He alone, who is the Buyer and He has poured His precious Blood- the precious Blood of the One who is without sin.” – St. Augustine #goodshepherd #HeknowsHisflock #HisflockknowHim #knowyourworth #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
