"DAISY",   THE   BISCUIT,   THE LAMB,   AND   YOU (EWE)

Several yeas ago, As I was taking a walk on a road near our home-----
As I passed by a small house, I heard a voice calling out...
"Daisy!  Daisy!  I've got a biscuit for you, can't you see?!?  Come on!!!

When I looked around, searching for the source of the voice.....
I spotted a small young girl, with black, curly hair, approximately 6
years old.

The little girl was standing by a pasture fence which bordered her front yard.
She was calling to a flock of sheep which was grazing on the grass at the far end of the pasture.

As she (continued) calling out (Daisy! come on!!! I have a biscuit for you, can't you see?!?)...
....Soon the entire FLOCK came to her; and to as many who came CLOSE to her---she gave
to them portions of biscuit!


I could think only of JESUS CHRIST..... the GOOD SHEPHERD (John 10:11) calling to EACH
and ALL of us ( in  John 6:49-59):
"I AM THE LIVING BREAD WHICH CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN." (John 6:51).........
"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.

"Whoever eats My Flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
(John 6:53-54)

To "eat the flesh" of Jesus, and to "drink His Blood" are to be (understood spiritually)!
The expressions point to the violent sacrificial death He would suffer, and the necessity of
believers (partaking) of the BENEFITS of His death - Coming to Him and BELIEVING in Him.
[To believe in Him  - means to Partake of Him].

He says to ALL of us:
"I am the living Bread which came down from Heaven. If anyone eats of Me (THIS BREAD),
He will live forever (John 6:51).  He says this to ALL of us - because after we are saved, He wants
us to  partake of  EVER and EVER MORE of Him!!!

"...that you may have the RICHEST MEASURE of the DIVINE PRESENCE..." (Ephesians 3:19/
Amplified Bible)


"O come,, and let us worship and bow
down,
  Let us kneel before the LORD
our Maker,
  For He is OUR GOD,
and we are the people of His pasture,
and the sheep under His care."
(Psalm 95:6-7)

"...John saw Jesus...and said:  'Behold! The Lamb of God
Who takes away the sin of the world!"

Is YOUR name "Daisy"?  If YES, or NO........Come on!!! Partake of Him!!!!!

"Blessed is the one You choose and cause to approach You." (Psalm 65:2) 

BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
