What does it mean to be able to say that the Lord, the God of the universe, is your shepherd? It is an amazing claim if you think about it. But not nearly as amazing as Jesus’ claim that he himself is the good Shepherd, a claim that unmistakably identifies himself with the sovereign Shepherd of David’s psalm. Only in knowing Jesus, can we know the Lord is our shepherd and know all the blessings that are found in his shepherding care.  We kick off a series of messages based on Psalm 23, today using Psalm 23:1 and John 10:7-18, considering Jesus, the good Shepherd.
