The sword of Jehovah smote the Shepherd <br />and all the sheep of the fold were scattered. <br />The Good Shepherd was smitten by His God <br />when the pathway to Calvary He trod. <br /> <br />For our iniquities He was smitten <br />fulfilling what Zechariah had written. <br />By his stripes the price for our sins He paid <br />when our transgression upon Him were laid. <br /> <br /> <br />(additional background information is provided in the Poem's story box below)<br /><br />Roy Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/today-god-s-fellow/
