“Look. There’s the lamb of God,” John said. And they followed him, this lamb, who they sought as their shepherd. Shepherd and lamb: the paradox had never struck me before.
This Monday morning all along my entire walk I did not see a single car, nor a single garage door opening, kids running out to pile in. No school buses. No School. We remember today a man who was unusual because he was, as the Lord whose salvation and pacifism he preached, shepherd and lamb. To lead in such a way that we lay down our lives is the lesson for today in the school of remembering, the school that calls us to attention in our hearts, to reflecting on the life and death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
