C. We are designed to acknowledge it is "Not we ourselves."
D. We are designed to discover that "His love endures forever."
E. We are designed to "Serve the Lord with gladness."
F. BUT-"We are sheep."
II. The Human Disaster-"We All, Like Sheep, Have Gone Astray…" Isaiah 53:6
A The sheep's urge to stray.
