no longer shepherds
when we judge others
when we cast others
outside of the flock
outside of the circle
outside of love
we become the hired hands
the ones facing condemnation
the examples in scripture
contrasted with Christ
our Lord, the Good Shepherd
who by his sacrifice
saved all of us

his own sheep
