The Sheep of God's Pasture

By Dr. Ron Jones

Why does the Bible compare God’s people to sheep instead of lions, tigers, or bears? I would rather be a sleek cheetah than a wooly sheep, wouldn’t you?

Sheep are not strong and independent creatures; instead, they are notoriously directionless and defenseless animals. Other animals in the wild kingdom do not fear sheep as fierce predators. Have you ever seen a hyaena running scared from a sheep?

All in all, sheep are kind of pathetic creatures and entirely dependent upon the shepherd who cares for them. Sheep need a shepherd to lead them. Sheep are also prone to wander away from the protective flock. For these reasons and more, it is quite humbling to think of ourselves as the sheep of God’s pasture (Psalm 79:13, 100:3).

Sehr schöner Artikel! Ich habe ihn gerne gelesen und ihn sehr gerne geteilt. Ich möchte ihn meinen Followern twittern. Danke! Ich kenne Ihre Expertise. Ich muss sagen, wir sollten online darüber diskutieren. Nur Kommentare zu schreiben, beendet die Diskussion sofort! Und schränkt den Nutzen dieser Informationen ein. Hervorragend geschriebener Artikel. Wenn doch nur alle Blogger die gleichen Inhalte wie Sie anbieten würden, wäre das Internet ein viel besserer Ort. https://finbizwelt.de/finanzen-und-bankwesen/bank-abc

“Every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.”

Romans 8:28 MSG

I have been listening to Something Good Radio for several weeks. I gain new insights weekly that I can apply to my life. After a recent broadcast, I got down on my knees, confessed my sins, repented, and asked Jesus to be part of my life. Thanks to God's grace and mercy, you showed me His love. I am a new Christian because of your efforts.

Roger from Nebraska

Thank you so much for preaching the unchanging and powerful word of God every day on the airwaves. My wife and I are originally from India, and now live in Melbourne, Australia. . . . We love to listen to you breaking the Bread of Life. Keep upholding the word of truth in an increasingly dark and dying world.

Andrew from Australia

Something Good happened to me this morning. I listened to Ron's broadcast from last week and feel a renewed sense of hope and encouragement! It was exactly what I needed to hear―to be reminded that our God of yesterday, today and tomorrow will answer my prayers.

Mick from Virginia

Ron's messages on Something Good Radio have brought me back to God and have led me to rededicate my life to Him.

Chris from Mississippi

I learn, grow, and am better able to serve my family and others because of your ministry.

Karen from Indiana

I just want to take this moment to thank the Lord for what He is doing through you. ... We are thoroughly blessed by the wonderful expository preaching! There is so much more I could say, but I will end here. Thank you. my dear brother, so much.

Barlen from Virginia Beach

Your program on the radio is great. I listen to you all the time. Truckers, van drivers and all deliverers are being saved listening to the programs you come up with. God bless you and continue to broadcast more salvation programs for all those on the road, at home, and at work.

Jacob from Facebook

My dad passed away. While driving home, I happened upon your radio show. You talked about redemption. I normally would not have listened, but I was intrigued by what I heard. I want to hear more. I’m not a religious person but I couldn’t turn the program off. I want to learn more.

Cindy from Minnesota

Thank you so much for being a Bible preaching and teaching pastor! You have blessed us with your ministry, and we pray that God will continue to lead you to proclaim His word boldly.
