WANDERING SHEEP
There is a lil wandering sheep story going around which suggests that there
are shepherds who break the legs of their wandering sheep which would stray away from the flock. The story suggests that they use
splints to hold the sheep's legs in place and then carry the sheep on their shoulders while the sheep's legs heal.
The theory is that the wandering sheep will become dependent on the
Shepherd and when the legs are healed and they are able to
walk again, they will THEN KNOW the shepherd and choose to
follow the shepherd and not be wanering sheep anymore.
Tho this story is NOT Biblically sound, some have chosen to
use that suggested theory and the following Scripture as a
basis, to suggest that the Lord does the same to His wandering sheep.
|
Job 5:18
How enviable is the man whom God corrects. Oh, do not
despise the chastening of the Lord when you sin. For
though he wounds, he binds and heals once again.
|
Knowing the story of Job and what was truly going on, we
know the TRUTH. Job was being tested by the enemy of our
soul and the Lord allowed it because the Lord believed in
the Faith and Patience of His servant Job.
Tho, I
understand completely the INTENT of this analogy, it has
some major flaws.
WANDERING SHEEP BIBLE STUDY
No ... This leg breaking method may be what a bad shepherd
does, but is not what a Good Shepherd does with a sheep that
wanders away according to the Word of God ...
|
Matthew
18:12-13
How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and
one of them
be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety
and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh
that which is gone astray? And if so be that he find
it, verily I say unto you,
he rejoiceth
more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine
which went not astray.
|
Jesus
is the GOOD Shepherd ...
|
John 10:11
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd
giveth his
life for the sheep.
|
|
John 10:14
I am the good shepherd,
and know my
sheep, and am known of mine.
|
This
Scripture reveals that Jesus is KNOWN of the sheep and He
needs not break their legs to get em to know and follow Him.
They CHOOSE to follow Him.
Our Shepherd is a Good Shepherd ...
WANDERING SHEEP WARNING
Those that use what Job said to prove their leg breaking
shepherd theory forgot what else Job said just before the
verse they like to use to show our Lord as a leg breaker ...
|
Job 5:17
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth:
therefore despise not thou the chastening of the
Almighty: How enviable is the man whom God corrects.
|
Of
course He will correct us as any good parent would, but our
Lord wants us to CHOOSE to follow Him ...
Not be abused into
having to.
Most of the time the WORD of God is correction enough to
keep us on the path ...
|
2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction,
for instruction in righteousness
...
|
Other
times, we may fall short and He will correct us as any good Father
would ...
|
Proverbs 3:11-12
My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD;
neither be weary of his correction:
For whom the
LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the
son in whom he delighteth.
|
And
sometimes, it is nothing nice ...
|
Proverbs 15:10
Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way
...
|
WANDERING SHEEPTRUTH AND BLESSING
But,
we understand it afterward and are so glad that He saved us from
our choices.
No ... If you find our Good Shepherd carrying us on His
shoulders, it is usually cuz of something that we did to
ourselves and in LOVE ...
He is carrying us during our
healing time.
|
Isaiah 40:11
He shall feed His flock like a shepherd:
He shall
gather the lambs with His arm, and
carry them in
His bosom, and shall
gently
lead those that are with young.
|
So,
let us follow the method of the Good Shepherd if and when we
are given the position of Overseer of His sheep.
|
Acts 20:28
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock,
over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to
feed the church of God, which He hath purchased with His own
blood.
