More and more we hear people being called a sheep. Do you wonder if you are one of them?
I am a sheep. Yep, you heard that right. I’ll just go ahead and admit it right away.
YOUR TURN: Let’s ask a few questions to discover if you are a sheep and what kind you may be:
Question #1
DO YOU PREFER TO FOLLOW A LEADER. (Ex: Government, Global News, CBC, Etc.)
The natural inclination of a sheep is to follow a leader
QUESTION #2

Sheep are known to stick to their own flock
QUESTION #3
ARE YOU EASILY INTIMIDATED BY ANY APPEARANCE OF FEAR (Ex: Fear of dying from something with a 99.96% survival rate)
A multitude of Sheep can be easily lead by a single “herding dog”
QUESTION #4

QUESTION #5

Sheep are also used as examples and analogies in the Holy Bible. It usually illustrates a loving God, The Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, who takes care of His followers. He feeds, provides, and guides His sheep. The Bible even uses an analogy of having 100 sheep, and a loving shepherd leaving the 99 to find the 1 that strayed. That is how much God loves us that He doesn’t even want 1 person to be lost. In John 10:11, Jesus said, “I am the good shephard: the good shepard giveth his life for the sheep.”
What greater love is that? Who on this earth would give their life for you?
Now, tell me, would you prefer to be classified as a sheep because you’re blindly trusting a system that doesn’t truly care about you – only about their financial gain from your compliance? Why would you trust a system that will bribe and coerce you? Then, when you won’t comply, they take away your job and your ability to provide for your family – is that how you show care for someone?
Or would you prefer to be classifies as a sheep because you follow a loving God whose rod and staff comforts you?
If you’re going to be a sheep, be the right kind of sheep.
FOLLOW THE GOOD SHEPHERD, JESUS CHRIST.
