"I know my Sheep, and my sheep knows me"

I couldn't recover from this verse for two weeks now, then I finally realized I wanted to make a blog on this after a twitter message mentioned this verse again...

John 10:14-18

"I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."

JESUS, my shepherd, has transformed me in a lot of possible ways. It is amazing to note:

John 10: 8 All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.

Why Jesus is compared to a shepherd? What is its specialty? I am tremendously intrigue with the behaviours of sheeps and its uniqueness why it is always referred in the BIBLE, used as a sacrifice to please the LORD, compared to God's most fave creation which is YOU and ME, and used its BLOOD for celebration of PASSOVER.. must have been one of the fave animals of GOD.. im quite intrigue.. all i know is that SHEEP usually tends to be scared with stranger. they are vulnerable, predictable and when stressed, they easily can be disturbed in their flock.. most especially, they make a GREAT WOOL WARMER for me (laugh).

I googled "why sheeps are always mentioned on the Bible" and mind you, I ddnt know there was an article about it.. im just plainly intrique about SHEEP as the humans and JESUS as our SHEPERDS.. and to help me to understand more of it, perhaps the best way is to understand the behaviour of sheeps.. and so i googled, gladly there is an article.. to give u a brief summary of that article about the SHEEPS in the Bible, here it goes:
