Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 40:11

Theological / Devotional

Like a shepherd. The solicitous care of Christ for His people, providing for them and protecting them from harm, is often compared to the work of a gentle and faithful shepherd in caring for his flock (see Ps. 23:1; 77:20; 80:1; 95:7; 100:3; Jer. 13:17; 31:10; Eze. 34:11-16; 37:24; Matt. 9:36; 18:12; Luke 15:4; John 10:11; Peter 2:25). As a shepherd gathers his lambs, carrying those that are too feeble to walk, and leading the ewes gently (see Gen. 33:13), so Christ exercises every possible care for His flock. God is not an unfeeling master or a cruel tyrant, but the very embodiment of consideration and love.
