The publicity surrounding these creatures informed us that they were—contrary to their popular image—very clean animals, and also quite smart. Sad to say, sheep will most likely never enjoy this sort of domesc vogue. They are neither clean nor smart and are largely defenseless when leſt on their own, even in large numbers. The biblical image of us as the flock of sheep is not a parcularly flaering one. Sheep without a shepherd are truly sad, because they most likely will perish either from their inability to fend for themselves or from their lack of defenses against preda- tors. Placing ourselves in the heart of this unflaering im- age can reinforce our faith. Unl we come to a profound realizaon of how much we need a shepherd, we cannot appreciate how deeply blessed we are to have been given a Shepherd, one who laid down his life for us and was raised to life eternal in the Spirit, so he might guide us and we might follow him in faith forever.
