“All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one, to his own way.”
ISAIAH 53:6
Sheep
are notorious for going their own independent way and ignoring the
Shepherd. The Shepherd is well able to protect His Sheep; the Shepherd’s
challenge is to get the Sheep to stay close to Him at all times. To
accomplish this He has to discipline us severely and teach us not to
wander off. This is where the work of the Cross comes in.
But
what a great day for both the Shepherd and the stubborn little sheep
when it no longer goes its own way, but follows the Shepherd and obeys
His voice! Were it not for Him the lambs would be destroyed in a moment.
