When Jesus saw the multitude around Him, He was moved with compassion for them because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd (Matthew 9:36). This is not just vivid imagery or poetic analogy, but the specific language God used in the Old Testament to describe His people.
In Ezekiel 34, we read of God’s promise that one day He will be the Good Shepherd and do the good word of feeding, tending, and seeking and saving the lost. We find these qualities in The Good Shepherd—Jesus—as He cared for people by teaching, preaching, healing the hurting, and alleviating suffering. Watch our study of Matthew 9:27-37 as we consider the good work of The Good Shepherd. Comments are closed.
