The only 2 things carried by the Shepherd. The former for defense the latter for help. Comfort here means gently lead; a good lesson for Pastors to gently lead their flock and ready to defend them when necessary. Rod in Heb means a club, is used to ward off the enemies that come against the sheep who are defenseless and the staff we lean on and they used with the hook to even grab a sheep out of a ditch. Our sword is the WORD of GOD and our comfort we find in CHRIST who became our passover-rest. What we cant handle HE is quick to help all those who love HIM.
As I know the rod is to keep us in the Lord's disapline and the staff is for us to follow Him always! Take comfort in all the words of the Lord ! Thank you Lord Jesus! Amen!
