I remember the time we were working a big bunch of older sheep to send to the sale. In the middle of that bunch was a ewe with just born twin lambs. We did not have time to catch them and put them in a separate pen, so we just kept working with the big bunch. I tried to identify her so we would not separate her from her lambs. All the stirring and moving of the big bunch did not seem to excite her; she just kept looking back and moving quietly making sure that her lambs were with her. Those two little lambs stayed side by her side following no other sheep.

That event reminds me of something in the Bible. When we accept Jesus as personal Lord and Savior, we become His possession or treasure, (Ephesians 2:11-22). We are His and He is ours! In this life there can be many trials and tribulations, but we are not to lose heart, (Acts 14:22, James 1:2-4, 1 Peter 1:6-9). That ewe never took her eyes off of those two lambs she kept trying to get them to quiet and safety. They did not get separated and we turned them back into a pasture with lots of room and feed. Jesus is doing that for every Christians today leading us to safety and to a new home, (Romans 8:31&32, 35-39).

See you in Church next Sunday.
