Things to look for as you read this week:

• According to I John, anyone who hates his brother can be compared to what Old Testament character?
• In Ezekiel's vision of a new temple and new city of Jerusalem, what does he say the city will be called?

Last week's answers:

• To what does Peter compare the elders in the church? (Shepherds—

I Peter 5:1-5)

• Through Ezekiel, God promises to rescue Israel from the "false shepherds" (kings, prophets, priests) who have not cared for the flock. How will this rescue be accomplished? ("I will bring them out…"—Ezekiel 34:14; "I will tend them…" Ezekiel 34:14; "I will place over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he will tend them…"—Ezekiel 34:23)
