Comparisons Between Psalms 22, 23, And 24

Comparisons Between Psalms 22, 23, And 24

It is interesting to note the following seven-fold comparison between Psalms 22, 23, and 24 and their New Testament parallels. (Adapted from J. Vernon McGee's comments from Thru The Bible on Psalm 23, where he lists six comparisons between what is often referred to as "The Shepherd Psalms." I am unsure where the seventh point came from.)

1) The Good Shepherd (John 10:11)

2) The Saviour

3) The Foundation

4) Christ Dying

5) The Cross

6) He Gives His Life

7) Grace

Psalm 23:

1) The Great Shepherd (Hebrews 13:20)

2) The Satisfier

3) The Manifestation
