Our theme of "Animals in the Bible" continues with this study.
While preparing to talk about Lambs and Sheep, I had the revelation that Jesus is both the Lamb and the Shepherd. We normally just read or hear about one at a time. It made me emotional to think that He sacrificed Himself as the Lamb, all while being and becoming our Good Shepherd.
We read a lot scriptures that talked about these things.
Isaiah 53:6-7 - led like a lamb to slaughter...
John 1:29 - Look, the Lamb of God
1 Peter 1:18-19 - a lamb without blemish

John 10:11-17 - Jesus is the Good Shepherd
Matthew 18:12-14 - Leaves the 99 to go after the 1
