“The Lord Is My Shepherd”
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” (Ps. 23:1)
Introduction
Psalm 23 is one of the simplest yet loveliest poems ever written. Its lines are as simple as childhood rhymes, yet its meaning is as deep as an archangel’s anthem. We could well afford to deprive ourselves of some of earth’s most magnificent libraries rather than deprive ourselves of this precious little poem.
Psalm 23 is the reflective thinking of an aged man who had been forgiven and who had discovered some wonderful truths about God. It is a confession of faith, a profession of faith, and a proclamation of faith. It is an anthem of grace. It is a shout of joy — an exclamation from the heart of a man who is overflowing with love and gratitude for his God.
Dr. J. P. MacBeth points out three distinct themes in Psalm 23. In verses 1 – 4 our God is the Shepherd. The scene is a pasture, and we are his sheep. In verse 5 the scene is a banquet, and God is the Host and his people are the guests. In verse 6 the scene is our eternal home, and God is the Father and we are his children. The Shepherd becomes the Host, and the
Host becomes the Father. The pasture becomes the table, or the banquet room, and the banquet room becomes the eternal home of the heavenly Father. The sheep become the guests, and the guests become the children. It is wonderful for our Savior to be pictured as a Shepherd. It is better to think of our God as a Host. It is even more wonderful to think of him as being our eternal, loving, heavenly Father. ...Read more
Why did jesus die?
Raymond odei explains
“For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till he come” (1 Cor. 11:26).
Introduction
The day that Christ was crucified was the darkest day the world has ever witnessed. On that day humankind revolted against the love of God, refused to accept Christ as God’s Son, and slew him by nailing him to a cross.
In spite of the awfulness of humankind’s terrible sin of crucifying the Savior, the disciples came to understand that, in the death of their Lord, God had done his kindest work for humankind. It would be appropriate for us to raise the question, “Why would the sinless, stainless, spotless Son of God have to die? Why did he institute a meal in which the elements were given great symbolic significance with a design of perpetuating the memory of his death on the cross?” To have the correct answer is to have the key to the Christian religion. To understand Christ’s death is to discover the essence of Christianity. To grasp the significance of his sacrificial death is to understand the heart of God’s revelation of his love and mercy.
I. Jesus Christ died on the cross to reveal the evil nature of sin.
Not only in our age, but in every age, people have been inclined to minimize and excuse sin. There are many who deny that there is any such thing as sin. There are others who joke about sin and treat it lightly. Others tolerate and coddle sin in their own hearts and lives.
Jesus died on the cross because of our sin. Had humans not been sinners, it would not have been necessary for him to die. .....Read more
