Have you ever had an occasion to see chickens in a pen get all excited over nothing? It's one of the funniest things you'll ever see!
One chicken can see something benign like a shadow and start freaking out. Get ready for the fun is about to start. Almost immediately a second then third chicken joins the panic. In a matter of seconds the entire pen is scene of chaos. Over what? A shadow! What caused the panic; ignorance, boredom, etc.?
I do not have experience with sheep but what I have heard and read indicates they are not too different from chickens. They too have a tendency to easily panic. Now that I think about it - didn't Jesus compare humans to sheep? Quick recall leads me to agree that we humans do have a quick trigger when it comes to panic as well.
All this talk about chickens, sheep and panic has a point. This week our study comes from 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. The study title is - You Can Stay Calm. We'll see how the believers in Thessalonica were acting a little like chickens.
Until then,
Don
