Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.
I can't wait until we get to John chapter 10 and then revisit this chapter of Jeremiah, but for now, I'll just give you a few highlights. When the Bible talks about the "shepherds," it is referencing those who are leading the people. In the context of Jeremiah, this is often a reference to the priests and prophets, and as we saw a few days ago, those particular leaders are unfaithful in their work.
Here, God is condemning the shepherds because they are not caring for the people of God but rather doing harm to them and scattering them. But God promises that he will raise up "shepherds who will care for them." He goes so far as to mention, "David a righteous Branch." Of course, we've seen this already in Isaiah 11 and know that this is not a reference to King David, who is long since dead, but to Jesus, who will come to lead the people of God. The name that will be given to him is "The Lord our Righteousness," which is exactly who he became for all who believe in him.
