(Good Shepherd) |
And well they must – for if they don't, biblical passages such as these might one day have no frame of reference:
He will feed his flock
like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in
his arm, and carry them in his bosom. He will gently lead those who have their young. (Isaiah 40:11)
Before him all the nations
will be gathered, and he will separate them
one from another, as a shepherd separates the
sheep from the goats.
(Matthew 25:32)
I am the good
shepherd. The shepherd lays down his life for the
sheep.
(John 10:11)
Such an ancient art and tradition is certainly worth defending. That could
be why Spanish shepherds recently took to the streets of Madrid – along with 2,000 of their closest wooly friends. Harold Heckle of the Associated Press reported that these shepherds "led a large flock of sheep through central Madrid… in defense of ancient grazing, migration and droving rights threatened by urban sprawl and modern agricultural practices."
Amen to that. King
David would be nothing but proud.
