Since #Jesus is the good #shepherd, what does that make us? #Sheep, it makes us sheep. That is a pejorative term these days used to imply blind #submission. But, the true #relationship between sheep and shepherd is one of dependence for sustenance and security. It also depends on the shepherd and his level of investment in the flock.

What is the shepherd’s staff used for? How well can sheep see or hear? Is our security better or worse because our shepherd died and rose again? Does the shepherd know our name? How do we know and have faith in Him? Does Christ ever lose sheep?
