Prophecy: Shepherd Rejected

Did you know that Zechariah predicts that the Messianic Shepherd would be rejected for 30 pieces of silver? Not only does it predict this specific event, but it also connects it to the ultimate accomplishment of redemption for God's people. When Jesus came, He fulfilled all of these prophecies. As the Good Shepherd, He laid down his own life so that He might bring them back to the sheep pen, back to God.
