Who is your Biblical Doppelganger?
Paul? Ruth? Moses?
Honestly?
I know I should say I’m like Paul. But I’m not. Or, Peter, or Deborah, or Ruth. Truth said when asked which Bible character I am most like — I think of that sheep, you know the one that wandered off from the others?
Yep, that’s me, the rogue sheep.
“Baaaaaaaa!”
My 99 friends, now grabbing cell phones to call and advise me against bad-mouthing myself, don’t bother. I’m good with being that sheep.
What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish (Matthew18: 12–14, NIV)
Think about it. Who did the shepherd go after?
