Who are these other sheep Jesus is referring to? Who else does he know? They know him, and he needs to bring us all together.
Believe it or not, there are other people out there who know and love God, too. They may not look, speak, or behave like us. They may not think like we do or share the same worldview. That doesn’t matter
because Jesus knows them. He knows their hearts, and they follow him.
How do we treat people that are different to us? How often do we invite those on the margins of society into our parishes, clubs and homes? Which pen do we find ourselves in? Which shepherd tends to the flock in our pen?
