Led by the Shepherd or Driven by the Butcher

“And when He putteth forth His own sheep, He goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.” (John 10:4)

A group was in the Holy Land and was hanging on the every word of their guide. When they saw a flock of sheep being driven by someone, they asked the guide, “Why is this man walking behind the sheep? We thought the shepherd always led the sheep.” The guide responded, “It is true that the shepherd always leads the sheep. But this man driving the sheep is not the shepherd. He is the butcher driving the sheep to the slaughter house.”

Our enemy, the devil, always drives us into places and down paths that are meant for our destruction. The Good Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ leads us down paths and into places for our good. Are you being driven by the devil or led by the Good Shepherd?
