(source: Wikipedia) Psalm 23 (KJV) The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. “Christ As The Good Shepherd,” a sermon by Dwight L. Moody.

We find that Moses and David and Abraham and Jacob and many of Israel's greatest and mightiest men were shepherds, no doubt all of them typifying the Great Shepherd that was to come in the fullness of time. Now, the work of a shepherd is to take care of his sheep; is to feed them, is to keep them, is to care for them, and, if need be, to die for them. I find a great many people who are afraid to become Christians, because they say they are afraid they can not hold out. They are afraid they can not keep Christ. Now, they have got a false idea of the whole thing. It is not you keeping Christ, but Christ keeping you. Some people have an idea that they have got to keep themselves and Christ too, when they are converted. Now, what we want is to turn that scene right around, and remember that it is the work of the shepherd to take care of the sheep, and to keep the sheep. Who ever heard of sheep taking care of a shepherd? Who ever heard of a sheep going after the shepherd and crying for a shepherd that went astray? But all through Scripture we are taught that the shepherd's work is to look after the sheep. The keeper of Israel never slumbers, never sleeps. You read in the 121st Psalm: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. "My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. "He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. "Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. "The Lord is thy keeper; the Lord is the shade upon thy right hand." So, when we come to this blessed subject of the Shepherd, let us bear in mind that He is the Shepherd, He is the Keeper; and that it is He that is to watch over and care for us; and what we are to do is just to give ourselves right up to Him, and to be willing to be led by Him and to be kept by Him. Now, in the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th Psalms we find Christ is the Good Shepherd, and we find Him also as the Great Shepherd, and we find Him as the Shepherd that is laying down His life for His sheep. Now, in the 22nd Psalm it says: "All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, "He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him ; let him de liver him, seeing he delighted in him. "For dogs have compassed me; the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me ; they pierced my hands and my feet. "I may tell all my bones; they look and stare upon me. "They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture." That evidently refers to Jesus Christ. The very language that is used in the New Testament we find used in this 22nd Psalm.
