The Shepherd

So, we have sheep, wolves and sheepdogs. What about a shepherd? Well, as you may have guessed, the shepherd is the Good Shepherd who is Jesus. The sheepdog is merely a servant of him. While the sheepdog may fail, the Shepherd never will. The Shepherd cares about the safety of the flock. He will always look out for whats best. The Shepherd keeps away the wolves, guides the sheep to water, leads the sheep to pastures to graze. Wherever the flock goes, the sheepdog goes with them. The Shepherd is the one guiding however. The sheepdog, at times, might follow the herd. The Shepherd, however, guides the herd back. The wolves fear the Shepherd like nothing else. The Shepherd is always ready, always watching, and always looking out for the good of the sheep (and sheepdog).
