What does it say?
Israel detested their Shepherd, and He grew weary of them. A worthless shepherd was coming who wouldn’t care for his flock.
What does it mean?
Under the Lord’s instruction, Zechariah acted out the coming of two men as shepherds over a flock – the house of Israel. He prophetically portrayed the coming and rejection of Israel’s Messiah. Aspects of Christ’s earthly ministry, such as His care for Israel’s poor and Judas’ betrayal for 30 pieces of silver, point to the reliability of biblical prophecy. The cruelty of the second shepherd, the Antichrist (John 5:43; 1 John 2:22), demonstrated the consequences of rejecting the Good Shepherd. The glorious promises in the previous chapter are delayed until the Messiah’s second coming because Israel rejected Him as their Shepherd.
How should I respond?
Most people who read a daily devotion wouldn’t argue with the validity of Jesus as the Messiah, the Good Shepherd, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. However, true acceptance of the claims of Christ isn’t simply an intellectual agreement with Christian writing and teaching but an inward conviction that affects how we live each day. We may nod in agreement with the pastor but still fail to live out the things he taught. You will likely face a choice today that will demonstrate either your acceptance or rejection of the Lordship of Christ. Be on guard, listening closely to the voice of the Good Shepherd.

Like Haggai, Zechariah prophesies during the post-exilic period as Israel began resettling in the Promised Land. Zechariah encourages Israel to remain faithful and prophesies of a coming righteous King who will bring salvation to His people (Zechariah 9:10). This book reminds us that we too must be to what God has called us to, always hopefully anticipating when God Himself “will be king over all the earth” (Zechariah 14:9).
