Sheep and Goats

SHEEP AND GOATS

I used to think that Sheep and Goats do not mix. The Bible portrayed Jesus as Shepherd of Sheep. He is never “Shepherd of Goats”.

But then there is a person next to our rented home in Bangalore, where he took care of both. They all graze together. They do not fight.

The only difference I observed is at the time of going home. The care-taker just calls a word and all follow after him.

But it’s not the sheep that responded first, but goats!  Goats are always first. Sheep follow slowly. Moreover, they run slow. Goats are first!

That reminds me Jesus’ word: “…the people of this world are much more shrewd in handling their affairs than the people who belong to the light. (Luke 16:8, GNB)
