• Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of
  Israel prophesy and say to them 'This is what
  the Sovereign LORD says
• Woe to the shepherds of Israel who only take care
  of themselves! Should not shepherds take care of
  the flock?

13

• You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the
  wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do
  not take care of the flock.
• You have not strengthened the weak or healed the
  sick or bound up the injured. You have not
  brought back the strays or searched for the lost.
  You have ruled them harshly and brutally.
• Ezekiel 342-4

• For even the Son of Man
• did not come to be served,
• but to serve, and to give his life
• as a ransom for many.

  the world and everyone around us is to make us
  happy, healthy, comfortable, and affluent.

  ultimate aim, we erupt into anger, resentment,
  and bitterness.

• I must surrender
• my fascination with myself to a
• more worthy preoccupation with the
• character and purposes of God.
• I am not the point. He is.
• I exist for Him.
• He does not exist for me.
• --Dr. Larry Crabb
