Where Are the Shepherds?

Where Are the Shepherds?

by | Nov 9, 2025 | Sermons

The Old and New Testament alike talk a lot about sheep—not surprising given their role in everyday life for thousands of years in the region. That near-universal experience with literal sheep led to sheep and the shepherds who care for them also becoming metaphors for peoples and their leaders. The prophets used those metaphors as did Jesus.
