People are described as sheep over 100 times in the Bible -- it's accurate, and it's not meant as a cuddly compliment. If you've been around sheep for any time, you understand that they filthy, stupid, and defenseless animals.
I was delighted to read a pair of companion articles discussing sheep and shepherds:
Sheep: This Time It's Personal
The Shepherd Leader
Not only do I think that you, dear teacher, should heartily acknowledge your shepherding role in the body, but these would make the basis for a great lesson or two!
