I'm a sheep?/Je suis un mouton?/Ik
ben een schaap?
You may not think it is very
nice to be compared with a sheep - some sheep don't even smell very nice! But
with Jesus as our shepherd, it is an honour to b e called His sheep. In
New Testament times, a shepherd knew all of his sheep intimately, cared for
their every need, and even slept next to them to ensure they were protected
from dangers. That is how intimately Jesus knows each one of us! A shepherd
will also lead his sheep to green pastures - much as Jesus leads us to eternal
life. No one can snatch us from our Father's hand with Jesus as our Shepherd.
Next time you face a challenge,
picture Jesus as your Shepherd and trust Him to guide and protect you.
