Like sheep

If someone is around a flock of sheep that they don't recognize, they scatter. They don't know what to do. They don't know who this is, so they become confused and bump into other sheep and run the wrong way. 

This reminds me of Christians. 
There are so many preachers, etc, that are teaching what they believe to be truth,
and living in a society where truth is not truth for everyone,
it's hard for followers of Christ to know who to follow. 

But if we focus on the good shepherd, the Bible, the words of the one leader,
we can all know the same and only TRUTH.

Listen for His voice and follow it.

John 10: 4-9
(Jesus talking)
"...When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them. Therefore Jesus said again, "Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. "
