Things New and Old: Sheep Attack Hirelings

Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things" 2Ti 2:7.

WATCH carefully...

The author intended to convey the abuse of pastors by their flocks.

All too often, that's true, BUT the Lord's little flock under my charge has been kind and gracious to me. I'm thankful to the Lord for them.

However, I see a different story. It is the good sheep attacking a hireling; he is dressed in a strange garment, holding an umbrella instead of a shepherd's rod, standing in the way of the flock. No wonder the good sheep attacked him, knocked him down so that the other sheep would not be harmed by him. ;-)

The moral of the story: if you are not the Lord's under-shepherd, don't go before His sheep, neither stand in the way of His sheep. You deserve to be attacked and trampled by the Lord's faithful sheep! When that happen, I say a loud "Amen." The Lord bless the brave sheep for protecting others from the hireling.

If he had kept off the road, he might not have been attacked; but he walked into the way of the flock, and BANG! Let the Lord's sheep be vigilant! There are hirelings.

But be warned, touch not thou the Lord's servants!
