Ezekiel 34 speaks about a group of shepherds that were in charge of the congregation and who were doing a pretty bad job at shepherding. They were feeding themselves and hurting the sheep. God comes in and promises that he is going to remove those false shepherds, and he will replace them with shepherds after his own heart. God promises to restore shepherding care to his people. Elders are appointed to care for the flock, to feed the sheep and to guide them towards Jesus. And Jesus himself promises to be the One Shepherd to ultimately provide for his sheep.
