It’s pretty cool to be a sheep.
In the bible, in the book of John, Jesus is described as the Good Shepherd and you and I are described as His sheep. Last I checked Columbus and anywhere around 270 isn’t really a booming metropolis of Sheep Farmers so this may not be the easiest thing to relate to at times. However, it paints such a beautiful picture.
Jesus as your good shepherd – protects you, His Sheep, to the point of laying down his own life. When wolves circle the sheep, the Shepherd puts himself between the two – willing to give up his own life in place of the sheep. The world and the enemy will try to convince you that they’d do the same…but 100% of the time they will flee and leave you to face the wolves alone.
Jesus as your good shepherd – knows you and each of His sheep by name. In the bible, knowing someone’s name often represents knowing someone’s true nature. So Jesus knowing the names of His sheep means He knows you more than you know yourself and he leads you knowing your deepest joys, fears, and hopes.
Jesus as your good shepherd does LEAD you. He goes before His sheep, guarantees safe pastures and leads you home.
So today, even with the lack of sheep farms in Central Ohio – remember – The good shepherd who knows your completely – love you perfectly.
