KNOW: The shepherds of Israel failed in their task. Their corruption and self-serving ways were virtually universal, and left Israel in tatters. God promised to correct that scourge on his people with a future shepherd from the line of David, via his father Jesse. A man of faithfulness, integrity, wisdom and knowledge. He will heal, and he will scourge.

DO: Rejoice in the fulfilled promise of God. Seek justice, mercy and correction from Jesus, the Servant of the Lord.

There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. — Isaiah 11:1
