While He is individually the Shepherd of all who trust in Him, He is also nationally the Shepherd of Israel. And all who deny the atoning work of Christ have no claim whatever upon the assurance and comfort of this Psalm.īut we must not overlook the fact that the first application of the Twenty-third Psalm must be made in connection with that godly remnant of Israel of a future day. Well has it been said “without Psalm 22:1-31, there could be no Twenty-third Psalm.” While the former Psalm reveals Christ as the good Shepherd, who gives His life for the sheep, this Psalm makes Him known as the great Shepherd of the sheep, whom the God of Peace hath brought again from the dead, through the blood of the everlasting covenant ( Hebrews 13:20). The LORD is my shepherd I shall not want.
