Yeah well you know as well as I do that the Shepherd/sheep thing is an analogy. Besides you're ignoring the fact that some sheep are used for wool instead of food.
Psalm 23 "Jehovah [is] my shepherd, I do not lack, In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me. My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake, Also -- when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou [art] with me,
Thy rod and Thy staff -- they comfort me. Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full! Only -- goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!"
Matthew 11 '
Come unto Me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest, take up My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls, for
My yoke [is] easy, and My burden is light.'
Secondly, remember that Jesus Himself was a "Lamb of God"? That He died a sacrifice for us?
John 1:29 "The next day John sees Jesus coming to him, and he says, See the lamb of God! the one
carrying the sin of the world."
Isaiah 22 "And it hath come to pass, in that day, That I have called to My servant, To Eliakim
(God of raising) son of Hilkiah
(portion of Jah). And I have clothed Him with thy coat, And with thy girdle I strengthen Him, And thy garment I give into His hand, And He hath been for a father to the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And to the house of Judah.
And I have placed the key Of the house of David on His shoulder, And He hath opened, and none is shutting, And hath shut, and none is opening. And I have fixed Him a nail in a stedfast place, And He hath been for a throne of honour To the house of His Father. And they have hanged on Him All the honour of the house of His Father, The offspring and the issue, All vessels of small quality, From vessels of basins to all vessels of flagons. In that day -- an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Moved is the nail that is fixed In a stedfast place, Yea, it hath been cut down, and hath fallen, And
cut off hath been the burden that [is] on it, For Jehovah hath spoken!'"
Revelation 3 "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith He that is holy, He that is true,
He that hath the key of David, He that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it:
for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My word, and hast not denied My name."
Revelation 22 "And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come; and he who is hearing -- let him say, Come; and he who is thirsting -- let him come; and he who is willing -- let him take the water of life freely."
