If you could be any animal in the world, what animal would you be? Did you say a sheep? Probably not. Sheep are some of the most frail, weak, and mindless creatures on the planet. They lead each other astray. They can't defend themselves when in danger. They even scare themselves to death sometimes. Nobody wants to be a sheep. Wouldn't you rather be a lion? Unfortunately, that animal is taken already. The Bible says that the devil walks around like a roaring lion looking for souls to destroy. And even worse, the Book of Romans states that we are like sheep being led to the slaughter. The Psalmist says, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures…" In fact, sheep are used to describe humans beings throughout all of Scripture. So, how can we escape the lion? If we are so weak, how can we survive in this violent world? We must run to Jesus Christ, the shepherd who gave His life for His sheep.
