Humbly Submitting to Loving Shepherds

???????

"With his arm he will collect together the lambs."—Isa. 40:11.

JEHOVAH GOD and his Son, Jesus Christ, are loving Shepherds. Isaiah prophesied: “Look! The Sovereign Lord Jehovah himself will come even as a strong one, and his arm will be ruling for him. . . . Like a shepherd he will shepherd his own drove. With his arm he will collect together the lambs; and in his bosom he will carry them. Those giving suck he will conduct with care.”—Isaiah 40:10, 11.

???????

The prophecy of Isaiah 40:10, 11emphasizes the tenderness with which Jehovah shepherds his people. (Psalm 23:1-6) During his earthly ministry, Jesus too showed tender concern for his disciples and for people in general. (Matthew 11:28-30; Mark 6:34) Both Jehovah and Jesus deplored the ruthlessness of the shepherds, or leaders, of Israel, who shamelessly neglected and exploited their flocks. (Ezekiel 34:2-10; Matthew 23:3, 4, 15) Jehovah promised: “I will save my sheep, and they will no longer become something for plunder; and I will judge between a sheep and a sheep. And I will raise up over them one shepherd, and he must feed them, even my servant David. He himself will feed them, and he himself will become their shepherd.” (Ezekiel 34:22, 23) In this time of the end, Jesus Christ, the Greater David, is the “one shepherd” whom Jehovah has appointed over all His servants on earth, both the spirit-anointed Christians and the “other sheep.”—John 10:16.

???????

 Jehovah God knows that the men he has appointed as overseers are imperfect. Yet, he is using them, and by means of his spirit, he shepherds his people on earth. It is true of the elders—and of us all—that “the power beyond what is normal [is] God’s and not that out of ourselves.” (2 Corinthians 4:7) We should therefore thank Jehovah for what he is accomplishing by means of our faithful overseers, and we should show them willing cooperation.

???????

Overseers do their best to live up to Jehovah’s description of shepherds appointed over his flock in the last days, as found at Jeremiah 3:15: “I will give you shepherds in agreement with my heart, and they will certainly feed you with knowledge and insight.” Surely the elders in our midst are doing a fine job of teaching and protecting Jehovah’s sheep. May we continue to show our appreciation for their hard work through our willing cooperation, our obedience, and our submission. In so doing, we will demonstrate our appreciation for our heavenly Shepherds, Jehovah God and Jesus Christ.

Humbly aan liefhebbers van herders toewijzen

"Met zijn arm verzamelt hij de lams samen." - Jes. 40:11.

JEHOVAH GOD en zijn Zoon, Jezus Christus, houden van Herders. Jesaja profeteerde: "Kijk! De Zalige Heer Jehova zelf zal zelfs komen als een sterke, en zijn arm zal voor hem heersen. . . . Als een herder zal hij zijn eigen reed herhalen. Met zijn arm verzamelt hij de lammeren samen; En in zijn boezem zal hij hen dragen. Diegenen die zuigen, hij zal zorgvuldig uitvoeren. "- Jesaja 40:10, 11.

???????

De profetie van Jesaja 40:10, 11 beklemtoont de tederheid waarmee Jehovah zijn volk herstelt. (Psalm 23: 1-6) Tijdens zijn aardse bediening vertoonde Jezus ook tedere zorg voor zijn discipelen en voor mensen in het algemeen. (Mattheüs 11: 28-30; Markus 6:34) Beide Jehova en Jezus betreurden de meedogenloosheid van de herders, of leiders van Israël, die hun kuddes schaamteloos verwaarloosden en uitbuiten. (Ezechiël 34: 2-10; Mattheüs 23: 3, 4, 15) Jezus beloofde: "Ik zal mijn schapen redden, en zij zullen niet meer voor plundering worden; En ik zal tussen een schaap en een schaap beoordelen. En Ik zal eenen herder over hen opwekken, en Hij zal hen voeden, ook mijn knecht David. Hij zal hen voeden, en hij zal hun herder worden. "(Ezechiël 34:22, 23). In deze tijd van het einde is Jezus Christus, de Grotere David, de 'enige herder' die Jehova heeft aangesteld over al Zijn Dienaren op aarde, zowel de geestelijke gezalfde christenen als de 'andere schapen'. - Johannes 10:16.

???????

 Jehovah God weet dat de mannen die hij heeft aangewezen als toezichthouders onvolmaakt zijn. Toch gebruikt hij hen, en door zijn geest heert hij zijn volk op aarde. Het is waar van de oudsten en van ons allemaal dat 'de macht boven wat normaal is, God is en niet uit onszelf'. (2 Korintiërs 4: 7) Daarom moeten we Jehovah bedanken voor wat hij vervult Middelen van onze getrouwe toezichthouders, en we zouden hen bereidwillige samenwerking moeten laten zien.

???????

Overseers doen hun best om aan de Jehova's beschrijving van herders die in de laatste dagen over zijn kudde zijn aangesteld, te voldoen, zoals blijkt uit Jeremia 3:15: "Ik geef je herders in overeenstemming met mijn hart, en zij zullen je zeker met kennis geven en Inzicht. 'De oudsten in ons midden doen wel een goed werk om Jezus schapen te leren en te beschermen. Mag we onze waardering voor hun harde werk blijven door onze bereidwillige samenwerking, onze gehoorzaamheid en onze inzet. Daarbij laten we onze waardering zien voor onze hemelse herders, Jehovah God en Jezus Christus.

    • By the way, if you're into stuff like this, you might wanna check out https://thepythagoras.com/. They have some neat articles about ancient civilizations and their contributions to science and math. It’s really interesting how much we owe to these early thinkers.
    • The Dendera Zodiac is such an amazing piece of history. Imagine ancient Egyptians looking up at the same stars we do now and creating this detailed map. It's mind-blowing! So, what do I think about it? I think it's a fascinating blend of art and astronomy. Those ancient folks really knew their stuff. The way they incorporated their gods and mythologies into the constellations is just brilliant. And it's not just about the stars, it’s a glimpse into how they viewed the universe and their place in it.
    • FIFA's collaboration with Algorand represents a significant milestone for blockchain technology. Algorand will serve as the official blockchain platform for FIFA, supporting events such as the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022. This partnership is poised to enhance FIFA's digital asset management while boosting Algorand's visibility through advertising and promotional opportunities. On another note, I've been tuning into African football recently. The match between Kanifing East FC and Latrikunda United was unexpectedly impressive. African football often goes underappreciated, yet the skill and enthusiasm in these matches are evident. We can expect even more significant development and excitement in African football with increased attention and support.
