“A Wild Flock Which Fleeth from the Shepherd”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Perhaps no metaphor has been used more often or more poignantly to describe the Lord’s people or their leaders than that of a shepherd and his flock. indeed, whenever Israel has refused the direction of the shepherds the Lord has placed over them, she has been scattered and has become a prey for the beasts of the forest.
