The good Shepherd

Akshaya speaks at 17. 08. 2025 We welcome you to our service from Heart Prague! The good Shepherd Psalm 23 shows us the goodness of God: He is our Provider, Guide, Protector, and Father. As our Provider, God meets our needs completely. David says, “The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing.” Just as God provided a ram for Abraham on Mount Moriah, He has provided His Son for us on the cross. If He did not withhold His best, why would He withhold any other good thing from us? As our Guide, God leads us on the right paths. Like sheep, we wander, searching for “greener grass.” But the sheep know their shepherd’s voice — and in His authority, they find safety. God calls us back to the path of righteousness, a path that begins with grace and ends in glory. As our Protector, He holds both a rod and a staff. The rod defends against enemies; the staff guides and corrects us when we stray. Correction doesn’t feel good in the moment, but later we see it for what it is — not punishment, but love and protection. That’s why David can say, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.” And finally, as our Father, He prepares a table before us — even in the presence of our enemies. He welcomes us, claims us as His own, and promises us an eternal home. David closes with this hope: “Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” The Shepherd who provides, guides, and protects is also the Father who welcomes us home. And because He is our Shepherd, we shall not want, we shall not fear, and we shall dwell with Him forever. Zobrazit v YouVersionWelcome to Heart Prague Church!
