Christological & Redemption Insight

Christ fulfills true rabats: 'He makes me lie down in green pastures' (Ps 23:2); Good Shepherd gives rest without fear (John 10:28–29—no one snatches). Where Zophar ties to self-reform, Jesus gives grace-first peace (Matt 11:28–30: 'Come...find rest'). Resurrection hope enables leaders to 'lie down' amid trials—outcomes secure in Him.
