Pycl #1: We can all gain a clearer understanding of spiritual, true man, through thinking of the sheep and Shepherd analogy. The Golden Text brings this idea of being God's sheep to light. Think about Mrs. Eddy's definition of Sheep in the glossary of Science and Health (p.594). After you have thought together about the spiritual qualities that sheep express, you can later look at the stories in this week's lesson. Do any of these main "characters" in the lesson embody these qualities? Daniel? Did he offend anyone (other than arouse envy which is not through anything offensive on his part!), was he innocent? How about Ruth, whom did she follow and why? What did the blind beggar express when he identified, and followed after, Jesus, when he threw off his beggar's cloak to approach Christ for a clearer sense of himself? Weren't each of these people looking for a clearer understanding of man, through following God (looking to the Shepherd)?
