Understanding Ezekiel’s Prophecy of the Good Shepherd

1-minute read

 “The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel … You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. … 11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. 12 As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered … ” Ezekiel 34:1, 2, 4, 11, 12 NIV Read full chapter

This prophecy began to be fulfilled when Jesus was born in Bethlehem. As the Good Shepherd, Jesus ministered to the crowds, who were like wandering sheep without a shepherd. Jesus not only cares for the sheep, He laid down His life for them. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” John 10:11 NIV

“For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves” Colossians 1:13 NIV

  1. Thank you, Cindy, for faithfully sharing the word daily. It is sharper than any two-edged sword. The word is Jesus. His word is life. When we speak it, pray it, we are sending His very life and power into the situation and can defeat any enemy we face. Thank You, our mighty God and Father for Your word. Thank You for Jesus Christ!

    Bless you my dear friend:)
