"Evangelizing" oedipus rex

So I'm mostly taking what i learned from the friday class discussion. We discussed that fate is man's replacement for God. Instead of a divine plan for his life, Oedipus is focused on escaping his doomed 'fate'. He thinks that the gods are against him since his life is set for misery. When trying to escape this fate of his, he makes it come to pass. He marries his mother and kills his father.
Also, sin cannot go unpunished. As we have discussed in Crime and Punishment, man is not above sin. So it therefore comes back to get you. This is seen in Oedipus Rex since Oedipus kills his father Laius, even though he didn't know it was his father at the time, he lays with his mother. Even though he was not aware of those he was committing the sin with, it was still a sin. Therefore, he is punished and is a doomed man. He must decline his position as king and he blinds himself.
Anger is a third aspect. This is what ultimately brings about his doom. He gets mad at the man on the road-Laius- and murders him. He then is angry upon hearing of a murder in his province, and says that he must be found and punished. But this murderer was himself all along, so he brought about his own destruction. Then, he is angry that his 'fate' came true so he stabs his eyes, leaving him blind forever.
The shepherd is a biblical symbol. This is because in Oedipus Rex, the shepherd saves the baby on the mountain top because it is about to die. Jesus is our shepherd, and he leads us away from sin and harm. He is our savior.
