Lesson Thirty-Three A Friend of Ours
Yes, the sheep is a friend.
Your warm dress was made from her coat. She gives it away in the spring. In the fall you are glad to put it on.
The sheep are timid.
They need some one to care for them.
The man who cares for the sheep is the shepherd.
The little sheep are lambs.
Jesus calls us His lambs.
So you can say, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.”
A good shepherd would give his life for his sheep.
Jesus gave His life for us.
King David was a shepherd. One time a lion was going to kill one of his lambs. David killed the lion.
Some day the lion and the lamb shall live together. Yes, and a little child shall lead them.
