"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" (John 10:27).

 "How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?" (Jeremiah 4:21).

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples" (John 15:8).

"And He said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee" (Ezekiel 2:1).

This is the first of more than 90 times in which the prophet Ezekiel is addressed by God as "Son of man." This seems quite remarkable, as this title also was Christ's favorite title (using it 80 times), always applying it to Himself.

 "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves" (Philippians 2:3).
