If you could be any animal in the world, what would you be? In the Bible, God's people are often called sheep. This is because sheep are not able to take care of themselves very well. They need a shephard to guide them and keep them safe. It is so easy for sheep to wander off and get lost. If the shephard doesn't find them quickly, they can be eaten by a wild animal. Jesus is like a shephard to us. He wants to guide us and take care of us. But we must follow him.
