Ezekiel 34:16, 23, 31
16 “I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong, and feed them in judgment. 23 I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them—My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd. 31 You are My flock, the flock of My pasture; you are men, and I am your God,” says the Lord God.

Jesus is the good shepherd; He saves the lost sheep who are broken, hungry, and sick from their own wanderings in sinful rebellion against God. He feeds us and cares for us because He is our Lord God and Father - Lord as in authority and control over us, and Father who loves and cares for us so much as to give up His only Son for us. The shepherd of mercy and grace seeks out the lost sheep to gather us to Himself.
