“The form of the text beautify matches the content of the text. In verses 1-3 the shepherd is ahead of us, leading us; in verses 4 he is with us, escorting us through the wilderness and then hosting us in his presence (v. 5); and now in verse 6 he is behind us sending his goodness and love to catch us up from behind.” —pg. 126

“The fellowship between the persons of the Trinity is a fellowship we are drawn into where the love bestowed on us is a love that already existed without us.” —pg.86

“We always want practical religion—effective habits, daily disciplines, lifestyle fixes— and these can all be wonderful if they are full of gospel grace, but the fountain from which they flow is God himself.” pg.15

“The god who is so strong clothes himself in a picture of the closest tender care for those who are so weak.”— pg.19

“ Your being united to Christ is not a doctrine floating somewhere out there in the abstract theological ether, nor is it confined to the pages of dusty systematic theologies. Rather, it is the very essence of what it means to be a Christian as to have the Lord Jesus as your shepherd.”
—pg.6-7
