We can determine a lot from looking at the way Jesus interacted with people in the Scriptures. Jesus said unequivocally that obedience to the law was crucial and helped reveal the those who loved him. But he also showed by the way he lived and the forgiveness he offered that his grace was much more than the law. In this first installment of our new series “Conversations with Jesus,” we learned that while the law, commandments, and rules are incredibly important, God’s mercy triumphs over man’s judgment.
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
