Evening: Psalm 128, 129, 130; John 10:1-18
I
don’t want to be a sheep. For related reasons, I don’t want to be a
shepherd either, nor do I want a ‘flock’ of cute but dumb followers!
Could that be why the Bible uses sheep-shepherd images … people ignore
their leaders and get themselves into trouble, like sheep? On the other
hand, Jesus is the ‘good shepherd’ who lays down his life for the
sheep, so they know how much he loves them. Of course … There’s the
connection! People and sheep are more alike than I realized. People
need love more than anything else; just like sheep.
