The Shepherd knows His sheep. He calls them by name.

When we see a crowd, we see exactly that,

a crowd...We see people, not persons,

but people. A herd of humans. A flock of faces.

That's what we see.

But not so with the Shepherd. To Him every face

is different. Every face is a story. Every face is a

child. Every child has a name...

The Shepherd knows His sheep. He knows each

one by name. The Shepherd knows you. He

knows your name. And He will never forget it.
