Sheep and donkeys in the BibleA herd of sheep with a shepherd is a powerful image. Sheep always move around in large groups and they need guidance and protection. With this picture you could also describe a community of believers. But this image of sheep does not fit when work needs to be done. Have you ever seen a sheep carrying a heavy load for its boss? In Biblical times you needed other animals for that. Man's great helper in the Bible is the donkey. • The parable of the Good Samaritan• Balaam and his talking donkey• The blessing of Judah: Binding his donkey's colt to the choice vine• Why did Jesus enter Jerusalem riding on a donkey?• What can we learn from the commandment You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey?• Is a donkey's jawbone strong enough for Samson?• The law for overloaded donkeys • The strong donkey Issachar• Donkeys protect sheep against wolvesEndorsement by professor dr. Julia Blum, Israel Bible Institute:So many books have been written about the Bible and about Jesus, that when somebody surprises us with some new look at the Scriptures, it truly feels like a miracle. The book that you are holding in your hands is indeed such a miracle […] I just haven't been able to put this book down – and I am sure you will not be able to either!
