Summary

Being a Christian means more than simply managing sin or distinguishing between right and wrong—it means following the Good Shepherd whose path leads to life rather than destruction. • Jesus identifies himself as the Good Shepherd who knows His sheep and whose sheep know Him • Following Mary's advice to "do whatever He tells you to do" is the essence of discipleship • Christian life isn't just about right vs wrong but about paths leading to either life or death • Obeying the world, the flesh...

0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary
0:07.2	spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and
0:13.4	Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up. All right, last day of John chapter 10, verse 14, Jesus says,
0:24.8	I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the father knows me,
0:28.7	and I know the father, and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not
0:34.1	of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice,
0:40.2	so there will be one flock and one shepherd. And again, I'm repeating from yesterday,
0:44.2	verse five, as stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know

0:57.1	The greatest advice in all of the Bible, at some week, I'm going to cover this in its entirety.
1:01.8	But in John 2, verse 5, Mary looks at a group of servants at a wedding in Cana after they'd run out of wine,
1:08.6	and she says these words, do whatever he tells you to do.
1:12.3	It's the best advice I can find in what it means to be a Jesus follower, that you are to just
1:16.3	do whatever it is that Jesus tells you to do. Now, here's what I need you to understand,
1:21.9	is that being a Christian is not merely sin management, and it's not enough to just think in categories of right and wrong.
1:31.3	There are things that are right and there are things that are wrong.
1:34.9	But if you think in categories of right and wrong,
1:37.4	it will never be enough to sustain you to do the right thing.
1:41.5	Some of you are by nature or wired to do the right thing.
1:45.0	Well, God bless you. Some of us by nature or wired to do the right thing. Well, God bless you.
1:50.3	Some of us by nature are wired to just want to rebel and do the wrong thing. But listen,
1:55.6	following after Jesus, it's not just about right or wrong. John chapter 10 lets us know, this is about life and death, that the decisions that we make put us on a path that lead somewhere. And one of those
