“I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them—My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd.” Ezekiel 34:23

God has established one shepherd over us, and He is no one among the earthly ministers of the churches of today and is no one among the Jewish leadership and is definitely not the entity that gives people what to think, feel, say, and do. The name of the one shepherd over us is Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the giver of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ feeds us as the Bread and Water of Life. He is the word of God who nourishes our spirit and soul to blossom fruitfully in the Spirit. “And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.” Ephesians 1:22-23

Jesus Christ tried to help the Jewish leaders to make sense of the word of God, and His teachings came with a lot of simplicity and that simplicity humiliated them. For example, when the scripture verse says that God’s servant, David, would be the one shepherd over them and feed them, somehow, the Jewish leaders believed that David was the one to keep their focus on. Jesus Christ used the scriptures to reveal that David could not possibly be the one, David could not possibly be the Christ.

That’s because David is quoted as saying that Christ is his Lord. Jesus asked the Jewish leaders, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’” The Lord said to David’s Lord (Jesus Christ) “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool” Jesus continued to ask, “If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?” This is perfect common sense that if David calls Christ his Lord, then Jesus Christ is above David, because in those days a son was never, ever referred to as being lord over his father.

“While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?” They said to Him, “The Son of David.” He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”’? If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?” Matthew 22:41-45

For all practical purposes, Jesus Christ really is in the family tree of King David from the Tribe of Judah, so in fleshly terms Jesus was the son of David. At the same time, Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, born by the Holy Spirit without human semen, as described in this verse, “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham…and Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ…now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. ” Matthew 1:1, 16, 18

There is only one Shepherd for the Jewish people, the followers of Jesus Christ, and all the world, and He is Jesus Christ. “Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ.” Galatians 3:16 “Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.” Galatians 3:7

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
