The Good Shepherd
John 10:11
"11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." |
The Old Testament scriptures frequently refer to the Messiah as a shepherd. One significantly applicable passage is found in Ezekiel, where God complains about the shepherds of Israel who were feeding themselves at the expense of His sheep. "And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, [even] my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken [it]. (Ezekiel 34:23-24) MORE>>>>
