THE SHEPHERD WHO IS GOD AND BECOMES A LAMB
“For thus says the Lord God: I Myself will look after and tend My sheep.” —Ezekiel 34:11
God’s sheep were in bad condition. They were malnourished (see Ez 34:3), weak, sick, injured, strayed, lost (Ez 34:4), scattered, and vulnerable to “all the wild beasts” (Ez 34:5). In many places today, God’s sheep are also in critical condition. Our society, parts of the Church, many families, and countless Christians are in critical condition.

Do You Hear What I Hear?
“How beautiful…are the feet of Him Who brings glad tidings.” —Isaiah 52:7
In the days before modern global communications, messengers ran or walked to deliver their news transmissions. They brought news from loved ones in far-off places to people who could not travel. These messengers were most welcome couriers.
During the season of Christmas, we celebrate a pair of tiny, beautiful feet (Is 52:7) — those of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In times past God sent His messages “in fragmentary and varied ways…through the prophets” (Heb 1:1). “In this, the final age, He has spoken to us through His Son,” Jesus Christ, the Messenger from heaven (Heb 1:2). In Jesus, we have been given the best possible news: the fullness of divine revelation and the establishment of the Church, the Body of Christ, so that God’s messages will continue.
