I am the Good Shepherd. I know my sheep. John 10:14
P: Mommy, I don’t understand. If Jesus is the son of God, and there is God, are the shepherds the helpers?
Me: No. The shepherd is a metaphor. You know, a shepherd takes care of his sheep the way God takes care of us.
P: But what about the cows? Someone takes care of the cows.
Me: That’s true but that isn’t the metaphor that we use.
Jen: Jesus the cowboy never really took off.
Update for Proto Attorney
Jesus the Ninja (isn’t the web marvelous?)
I would totally vote for Jesus the Cowboy if we got to vote on metaphors! 🙂
I prefer “Jesus the Ninja” myself, but Jesus the Cowboy is pretty awesome too.
Wow, kids really make ya think don’t they? Too funny… I can just see my daughter asking “but who takes care of the cows?…Bahahahah!
