Surely...Forever! (6 of 6)
Psalm 23

Psalm 23:6
1/27/2002
Psalm 23 is probably the most familiar chapter in all of the Word of God. Probably this chapter has been memorized and quoted by God’s people more than any other passage in all of the Scriptures. It has been on the lips of many a dying saint as they have slipped from this world into a better world. It has been the text for funeral services that have been conducted by preachers.

Here is a sermon that is preached by a sheep. I’m referring, of course, to David who had been the great shepherd king of the children of God. Now, he has placed himself in the role of a sheep. The Bible says, “All we like sheep have gone astray.” The Bible says, “We are his people and the sheep of His pasture.” All of us are like sheep. A human being is the only created being that can basically change its nature. A plant is always a plant. It will never be anything but a plant. A dog is always a dog. It will never be anything but a dog. A cat is always a cat. It will never be anything but a cat. But a sinner, by means of the new birth, can be changed into a saint. You don’t have to be what you on ...
