Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
And can't tell where to find them;
Leave them alone,
And they'll come home,
wagging their tails behind them.
Oh...if only it was that easy. My sheep would not find their way home. This is a catchy English language Nursery Rhyme circa 1805 that I can hear in my head with that sweet melody that leads into song.
Sheep are known to be creatures that CAN'T find their way home. If they get lost and get on the other side of a fence, they won't know how to get back around to the other side where they just came from.
They truly are in need of a good sheperd that works with them helping them get back home. We are like sheep in need of the GOOD SHEPERD. That would be Christ. He is referred to as the Good Sheperd and we are referred to as ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY (Isaiah 53:6).
1 Peter 2:25 tells us FOR YE WERE AS SHEEP GOING ASTRAY; but are now returned unto the Sheperd and Bishop of your souls.
We are in need of the good sheperd. Every one of us.
Baa baa black sheep have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full...
