tlcsal: This is a story preachers have used in what a shepherd will do to save a sheep from dying on a cliff. A good book to read is A SHEPHERD LOOKS AT THE 23rd PSALM. This book goes into great detail on what a shepherd has to do tokeep his sheep healthy and grazing well. justme |

Justme This is an excellent book. The part about breaking the leg of a sheep is not in it that I recall. I have heard Pastors use this story both in reference to Jesus and to themselves being the shepherds. EdB |

Edb: You are correct, "braking the leg" story has been a preachers story, and I have yet to find the source. I think a lamb with a broken leg would more than likely wind up as dinner. The extra work required to keep such a wounded sheep going would use more time than a shepherd could manage. I refered the person to the book to see how much a shepherd really does do, with no fiction added. I had a shepherd in one church I pastored. I learned much from the shepherd and the sheep as well. Goats are more independant and require less constant attention. They will come to others voices, and can turn on their caregiver. I think there is a message here. justme |
