One of the most powerful biblical pictures of Jesus Christ is as our Shepherd. Here in Psalm 23, we see Him as the Good Shepherd who cares for the sheep.
It is not what we escape, but what we gain, by going to heaven that thrills our souls. It is not our desire to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that moves us to seek its residence.
The Dispensation of the Grace of God
The distance between man and God is great. This is partly based on the greatness of God, but the distance is magnified even more by the lowliness of man.
