The 23rd Psalm if about life—not the popular notion of death and tragedy. It has been referred to as the ‘John 3:16’ of the Old Testament that promises life in abundance. The three objects in verse 5 represent three subheadings that summarize the theme of this study: table – God sustains me oil – He chose me for a purpose cup – I have more than I ever will need This imagery also foreshadows the emblems of communion that point to Christ’s sacrifice when he took on the form of man and became our servant. If our Shepherd sustains us, it is because he has a purpose for us, and will bless us abundantly!
