The image of the Good Shepherd, applied in the Old Testament to God, is applied in the New Testament to Christ; it is especially applied by Jesus to Himself, as when He says, "The good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." David might have introduced this feature into the Twenty-third Psalm; because, as we know from the account he gave of himself at his first interview with King Saul, there were more occasions than one when he risked his life for the flock. He omitted it; but the Son of David could not omit it, because this was to be His most characteristic act; "for the Son of man came not to be ministered unto but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." Some in our day are teaching that the supreme and final message of Jesus was trust in Providence -- faith that the divine will, whatever it may be, is best. That is a priceless lesson; but it had been amply taught long before the Incarnation. Jesus rejoiced in it, and repeated it; but it was not His last word; it is not likely that He stopped short at such truth as had already been perfectly uttered by King David.
