Ancient shepherds used to mark their sheep so that no confusion would occur as flocks merged at watering holes. They had a unique nick on their ears or a brand painted on their sides. Jesus actually tells us He has two marks on each of us who belong to Him.
In John 10 Jesus identifies believers as His sheep. There are two identifying markers that show Christ's ownership. When we are true believers we have Christ's marks on our ears and on our feet. Jesus tells us “My sheep hear my voice (that is a mark on the ear) and they follow me (that is the mark of the foot). Christ's sheep hear and follow. Do you know that you belong to Jesus? You can, just hear and follow Him. Just get marked in the ear and the foot.
