Targum: people shall pass under the hands of the Messiah to be numbered
Jeremiah spoke of God gathering His flock with authority.
He will give a shout, like those who tread the grapes, against all who live on the earth. He will count them as his flock.
He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
Jeremiah spoke of God gathering His flock with authority. Jesus identifies Himself as the good shepherd who calls His own sheep by name. The cosmic shepherd knows each one personally.
Lord, give me courage to speak life, mercy, and hope. Through He Calls His Own, train my hands and words for Your mission.
