"I know my sheep and my sheep know me."— (John 10:14)

[Bible Speaks]

"I know my sheep and my sheep know me."— (John 10:14)

ARE YOU FOLLOWING THE SHEPHERD?
Nothing about his sheep escapes the notice of our Exemplar. (1 Pet. 2:21)        And the sheep fully know the shepherd and trust his leadership.

To exercise his headship in imitation of Christ, a husband must learn to think of himself as a shepherd and of those under his care as sheep. He should strive to have an intimate knowledge of his family. 

Can a husband really have such knowledge? Yes, if he communicates well with all members of his family, listens to their concerns, takes the lead in family activities, and is conscientious about making good decisions involving such matters as family worship, meeting attendance, field service, recreation, and entertainment. 

When a Christian husband takes the lead with knowledge not only of God’s Word but also of those entrusted to him, it is more likely that his family members will have confidence in his headship and that he will have the satisfaction of seeing them remain united in true worship.    jw.org
