Our lectionary readings this weekend include the 23rd psalm and a passage from John 10 where Jesus says that he is our shepherd and we are his sheep. It’s not the most flattering image – being a sheep, that is – sheep are constantly in need of rescuing and are not known for their intellectual gifts!
But even more foolish would be a sheep that tried to shepherd itself. In order to thrive, a sheep needs to know its place – to be attentive to the voice of the shepherd and ready to trust the shepherd’s judgement. How much more so in difficult or challenging times!
Come and join us in person or online this Sunday as we wrestle with the words of Jesus in John 10:27 – “my sheep know my voice ... and they follow me”. Practically, what does that look like in my life and yours in KZN in 2022?
