In Luke-Acts, Jesus can be seen to take on the attributes of the
Davidic shepherd king, a representation successfully conveyed
through specific narrative devices. The presence of the shepherds
in the birth narrative can be understood as an indication of this
understanding of Jesus. Sarah Harris analyses the multiple ways
scholars have viewed the shepherds as characters in the narrative,
and uses this as an example of how the theme of Jesus' shepherd
nature is interwoven into the narrative as a whole. From the
starting point of Jesus' human life, Harris moves to later events
portrayed in Jesus' ministry in which he is seen to enact his
message as God's faithful Davidic shepherd, in particular, the
parable of the Lost Sheep and the Zacchaeus pericope (19:1-10).
Harris uses this latter encounter to underline that Jesus may be
hailed as a King by the crowds as he enters Jerusalem, but he is
not simply a king. He is God's Davidic Shepherd King, as prophesied
in Micah 5 and Ezekiel 34, who brings the gospel of peace and
salvation to the earth.
