[ Infinity is pasture for poets. It’s a fence for the rest. Thank God we’re not all poets. ]

True.. the sheep pen(s) in John ch 10 have walls..
The sheep in the sheep pens need to be there..
Else they would run wild..

A Sheep stampede is(would be) a bleating chinese fire drill..
Better they have walls to contain them..

The pasture on the outside(of the sheep pens) is free and peaceful(Ps 23)..

Beautiful imagery. Thank you both!

To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. – John 10:3-5

But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand. I and [my] Father are one. – John 10:26-30

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. – Psalms 23:4

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. – Colossians 3:3

To God be the glory!
