Shepherd or Sheep – Who Am I Lord?

Summary:

Is it possible to be a shepherd and a sheep at the same time?

Let’s look at Jesus as our example: washing the feet of the disciples, he

was as a sheep to the Father and a shepherd serving the disciples.

Show Notes:

• We could be a sheep one day and a shepherd the next, then a

sheep again.

• Everything stems from being led of the Lord

• There really is no positioning in the Lord, no one is greater than

another.

References:

Romans 8:14 

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of

God.

Isaiah 11:6 

The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with

the goat; the calf and young lion and fatling will be together, and a

little child will lead them.

John 10:27 

My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

1 Corinthians 15:24 

then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to our God

and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and

power.

John 13:5 

Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the

disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped

around him.

Quotes:

• We can change daily

• One day you’re a shepherd, the next day you are a sheep

• Sometimes you are the leader; sometimes you’re the ones being led.

• Sometimes some little child could be a shepherd to you.

Take Away:

Even Jesus was submissive to His Father, and so should we be to those

whom He has given us to minister with. Let’s create a synergistic flow

that shows the Father that we are being obedient to John 15:12:

“This is My commandment, that you love one another, jus as I have

loved you.
