Emphasis Preaching Journal

Sheep can be very stubborn, disobedient, and self-willed. I remember one time when I was visiting a farm near the church where I served. I grew up on a farm and knew that all animals could be stubborn and would test the fences to see if they would let them through. But sheep take the prize.

There, in the yard where I visited, was a sheep. There were sheep on both sides of the fence separating the small group of sheep. The one had decided that the other side of the fence was the only place to be.
