For many years the missionary magazine of the Church of the Nazarene was called “The Other Sheep,” based on John 10:16. Read this verse in its context. What is the meaning of “the other sheep” to you personally?

For me, "the other sheep" are those who are not a part of the flock of Christ, but can join the flock. One metaphor that has always stuck out to me in regard to sheep is that the shepherd cannot make sheep; sheep are the ones who make sheep. We, as sheep, have the opportunity to make lone sheep a part of the flock of Christ. We can be out there, sharing his love, showing sheep the dangers in the world, and directing them to his love, mercy, and grace.  We are his sheep, and we must reach out to other sheep!
