Leopards travel in leaps Hunt by night Disguised in dark coats in shadows
Sheep travel in herds Herded by a shepherd Guided by a familiar staff It's a relationship
A lamb is a sheep young in flesh to be butchered cleaned and eaten Pure in age like a child Mild in texture easy to swallow and digest and holds flavor
Leopards prey on sheep gone astray Lambs are guided as special and protected in safety The lamb is in the middle of the heard at all times so as the shepherd herds the flock the whole is protected around the lamb.
God is The Shepherd His people are sheep to be guided protected around The Lamb who is Jesus in the middle of the herd holding all together in the relationship with The Shepherd Staff which is His Word The Lamb was butchered for our food to fill our souls with eternal nutrition that sustains all prey.
When The Angel of The Lord made know the Lamb of God and we as the flock, He knew what He was talking about even if we might not take the time to think through all of the parables Jesus told in all the facets of a parable.
Feast on The Lamb for his flesh was pure and salvation is not and end but a beginning to a new means of true life. Read His Word in the Bible and take to heart it's accuracy.
John 10:14 "I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me."
