When the shepherd leads


When the shepherd leads he makes sure that none of the sheep gets ahead of him. He has a rod of correction to make sure to bring the fold back into line behind him. Because all sheep that try to go before him are out of line so the rod of correction is used to bring them back into line. This is done so that the shepherd can lead them to greener pastures which is their inheritance. It does not matter that the shepherd is a lion . He has curbed his own appetites. Roar! He has now become the protector of the sheep.
