THE SHEPHERD

THE SHEPHERD Psa. 22-24



The shepherd work of our Lord has 3 aspects:
  1. As the "Good Shepherd" He gives His life for His sheep. [John 10:11].  “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” This answers to Psa. 22.
  2. As the Great Shepherd brought back from the dead [Heb. 13:20] to care for and make perfect His sheep. “Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever.” This answers to Psa. 23.
  3. He is the Chief Shepherd who is coming in glory to give crowns of reward to the faithful shepherds [1 Peter 5:4] “And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.” This answers to Psa. 24.
