The Shepherd and the Sheep

Of all the animals we could be, Scripture likens us to sheep.  That doesn't seem like the most flattering image.  I'd have loved to have been a lion.  Or an eagle.  But no, we are sheep.  Yet we have a great Shepherd and that makes all the difference.  If we are going to be his disciples, one of the most helpful things we can do is examine this image and learn more about our calling and his provision.
