Some rural haiku
Rural metaphors
abound in Jesus’
teachings.
This is an old one
The Lord is
shepherd;
we find it in the
Psalms, and
in Ezekiel.
There’s a few of
them;
Jacob, Moses, Amos,
Dave –
looking after
flocks.
Good shepherd Jesus;
guide, protector of
his flock,
knowing ev’ry
sheep.
He is no stranger.
We know his voice,
hear his words,
and we follow him.
Jesus is the gate,
through him we pass
into life
in all its fullness.
Thieves and bandits
still
speak tempting
words; we must not
let them seduce us.
Good at pretending
they have our
interests at heart,
but ripping us off.
