Question 9 of 15
9. Question
Unless we choose to leave Him, we are safe in the hand of our shepherd. The relationship between the skilled Old Testament shepherd and the sheep is an intimate one. The shepherd is on duty 24 hours a day. Each day he counts his sheep and if one is missing he immediately goes out to search for it. Each sheep bears a distinctive mark on his ear. The shepherd examines each sheep for injuries and sores and medicates them if necessary.
The skillful shepherd prepares pastures for his sheep and leads them to good water sources. His prime weapons are his rod and his staff, with which he protects and guides the sheep. Unlike other mid-eastern shepherds, he leads, rather than drives them.
In the following verses Jesus introduces another element into the discussion – the relationship between the Father and the Son.
The Scripture: John 5: 19-20
“The Son can do nothing by Himself; He can do only what He sees His Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all he does.”

“He tends His flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart; He gently leads those that have young.”

What a beautiful picture of a “skillful” shepherd, reminiscent of Nathan’s rebuke to David, when David sinned with Bathsheba.
The Scripture: 2 Samuel 12: 1-3
“There were two men in a certain town, one rich and the other poor. The rich man had a very large number of sheep and cattle, but the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb he had bought. He raised it and it grew up with him and his children. It shared his food and drank from his cup and even slept in his arms. It was like a daughter to him.”

Question 12 of 15
12. Question
Sheep were considered very valuable to the shepherd as indicated in these parables.
The lost and found is a favorite theme of the Bible. Three of Jesus’ best known parables are devoted to the lost being found.
The Scripture: Luke 15: 3-7
“Then Jesus told them this parable: ‘Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it. And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders ad goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.” I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.”
15. What happens when the shepherd loses his sheep?

Question 13 of 15
13. Question
The other two parables are similar – the losing and finding of a valuable coin and the familiar parable of the prodigal son.
The Scripture: Luke 15:20
“While he (the son) was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

Question 14 of 15
14. Question
All of these gifts signified authority and sonship. What beautiful illustrations of how much our Shepherd treasures us!
Sometimes we can learn much from a bad example. Let’s look at a prophecy the prophet Ezekiel made at an earlier date against the leaders of Israel, comparing them to bad shepherds.
The Scripture: Ezekiel 34: 3-5
“Should not the shepherds take care of the flock? You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. 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.”
20. Using the prophecy as your source, list the qualities of a skillful shepherd given in this scripture.

Question 15 of 15
15. Question
Our skillful shepherd has one additional quality that will be evident on Judgment Day.
The Scripture: Matthew 25: 31-32
“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.”
21. How will the Son of man separate the nations?
Some breeds of sheep and goats are so similar that only the most skillful shepherd can tell them apart.
How grateful we should be that we are in the hands of a skillful shepherd.
In the second half of this study, we will see the similarities between man and sheep.
