I wanted to share a wonderful video that my husband found recently. He enjoyed it from an artistic and creative perspective, (and so did I), but it also offers deeper levels of understanding based on viewing our Lord as the Shepherd. The video is called Lost Sheep. Look for the following themes so brilliantly portrayed using just paper and stop motion photography.
The shepherd: knows his sheep, cares for his sheep, pursues the lost even through dangerous conditions and against the foe, carries us home, offers healing
The lost sheep: comparing your worth against others, turning away from the fold, being ridiculed by others, coming to trust in the shepherd for rescue and safety
The sheep: knowing and responding to the call of the shepherd
