| In the Old Testament Psalm 23 is one chapter that tells of God's love for us in a simple way that speaks to our heart. Here is an every day illustration much like when Jesus taught his disciples: 'I AM the True Vine.' In the Old Testament God taught us how to relate to him under the law of Moses. But even under the Old Covenant truly knowing God came through simple faith. David's Psalm about the Lord who is our Shepherd captures God's relationship to his people in the Old Testament in a complete way just as the Lord's illustration of the Vine and branches does in the New Testament. John's gospel records the Lord's words about the Vine and branches. For simple expressions of life that is age-abiding Psalm 23 and John 3:16 have captured the hearts of the redeemed in a special way that no other Scriptures can. |
