A Sheepdog's Guide to Shepherds, Sheep, Lambs and Wolves
I learned my way of life from The Great Shepherd of the Sheep,
Jesus the Messiah, Who gave His life for the sheep. He taught me
to love the little sheep and lambs, recognise shepherds and wolves,
and sacrifice my own wellbeing for the flock.
His teaching is written in the Lamb's Book, which humans call the Bible.
The safety of the flock depends on being able to tell the difference
between these creatures so that the shepherds and shepherdesses
can defend the flock.
This page lays out the differences and similarities between the different creatures, so that they can be compared and identified. John 10:1-18.
