Charles Spurgeon Commentary Ezekiel 34:28-29

"And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the beasts of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid. And I will raise up unto them a plantation for renown, and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither bear the shame of the nations any more." — Ezekiel 34:28-29 (ASV)

And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid. And I will raise up for them a plant of renown,

Jesus is "a plant of renown" because you may go to Him at all times and always find fruit on Him. This is more than you can say of any other plant.

You may go to Him and always find the sort of fruit you want. Is He not "a plant of renown"? You will find healing virtue in His leaves and satisfying fruits hanging in clusters upon Him.

He is "a plant of renown" because His Father planted Him; because He has food enough for all His saints and a gracious variety for all their tastes; because He will blossom through eternity; and because of the multitude who sit under His shadow and rejoice in it.

To His people, He is truly "a plant of renown," for under His shadow they are begotten and brought forth. The greatest transactions of their lives have taken place beneath the shadow of that old tree, "the plant of renown."
