Meet Shrek
June 19, 2014
Read: Ezekiel 34:11-16
Shrek was a renegade sheep. He went missing from his flock and remained lost for 6 years. The person who found him living in a cave on a high and rugged place in New Zealand didnt recognize him as a sheep. He looked like some biblical creature, he said. In a way, he was. Shrek was a picture of what happens to sheep who become separated from their shepherd.
Shrek had to be carried down the mountain because his fleece was so heavy (60 lbs or 27 kg) that he couldnt walk down on his own. To relieve Shrek of the weight of his waywardness, he was turned upside down so that he would remain still and not be harmed when the shearer removed his heavy fleece.
Shreks story illustrates the metaphor Jesus used when He called Himself the Good Shepherd (John 10:11), and when God referred to His people as His flock (Ezek. 34:31). Like Shrek, we do not make good choices when were on our own, and we become weighed down with the consequences (Ezek. 33:10). To relieve us of the weight, we may have to be on our backs for a time. When we end up in this position, it is good to remain still and trust the Good Shepherd to do His work without hurting us.
The King of love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am His,
And He is mine forever. Baker
Gods training is designed to grow us in faith.
Todays reading uses the metaphor of God as one who cares for His people as a shepherd cares for his sheep: I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick (v.16). When God became a man in the Person of Christ, similar language was used about Him: But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd (Matt. 9:36). As our Good Shepherd, Jesus said, My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me (John 10:27).

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you sally forth today? I’m hearing that it was pretty hot on the east coast today. 99 in Virginia, not that far from the water.
Wait! Did you say you were off today? And going to plant your new flowers?
Still waiting for rain here.
