The Shepherd's Complete Care
Commentators explain that God's role as a shepherd goes far beyond providing food. The phrase "feed his flock" encompasses complete, tender care: guiding, guarding, governing, and defending His people. This imagery, fulfilled in Christ, contrasts the gentle King with a harsh conqueror, assuring believers of His comprehensive protection and infinite love.
