Sheep/Shepherd Relationship

Psalm 100:3The whole world operates by principles that determine the interactions of individuals, families, and groups of all sizes. One such principle is that of relationship.

We will discuss the characteristics of a sheep, the characteristics of a shepherd, the relationship between the sheep and the shepherd, and finally, the Good shepherd and the sheep. If we would take a close look at the inner workings and outward actions of the sheep and the shepherd, even the actual sheep (animal) and the shepherd, what would we see?
