Lost, Deaf and Blind Sheep
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. (Matthew 9:36)
For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. (1 Peter 2:25)
It is so easy, as forgiven followers of Christ, to despise those in the world, and treat them as enemies to our God. This should not be. The unsaved are not angry wolves seeking to devour. They are lost sheep, so blind and deaf that they do not know the way back to the shepherd. We once were these lost, deaf and blind sheep. Praise be to God, the good shepherd, who found us when were lost in the darkness.
Praise be to God.
