I attended the first class of this study at church tonight. There are many references to sheep, wine, and honey in the Bible. In an effort to better understanding those comparisons, the author spent time with a shepherdess, a farmer, a bee keeper, and a vine keeper. She asked them to interpret scriptures about their profession, not from a theological point of view, but from their experience in those fields (no pun intended!). We know that God is intentional in everything He does, so it is certain that He used these metaphors for a reason. I look forward to learning the divine significance of wool, wine, and honey...... and the divine significance it will have for me in knowing my God and His Word better!
