Yahweh-Raah – The LORD My Shepherd
Psalm 23 and John 10 are the most beautiful descriptions of God as our Shepherd, Jehovah Rajah. When we say “Lord,” we think of God’s deity. When we say “my Shepherd,” we think of God’s humanity. God in human form – Jesus Christ – prophesized in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament. The Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New Testament. As the Good Shepherd, He dealt with the penalty of sin. As the Great Shepherd, He deals with the power of sin. As the Chief Shepherd, He’s coming to take us from the very presence of sin.
Our hevenly Falther, Yahweh-Raah-The LORD My Shepherd, we come to Thee and lay our burdens down and give Thee thanks for Bearing them for us. Amen.
