Do you think it’s a coincidence that the world has taken this word that Jesus used repeatedly to refer to His most precious and beloved people and have reassigned it to be an insult? It’s not. That is the work of the great deceiver – the father of lies doing what He does. He wants us to be ashamed to be sheep, to reject our identity in Christ and our place in God’s kingdom. Why? Because a sheep that doesn’t know it’s a sheep, and instead starts acting like a lion, makes for easy prey.
