Psalm 100

“Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture” (3). God’s special covenant with Israel revealed His desire for all people – that through Christ we would be “his people, the sheep of his pasture”. To be His beloved people means that we enter the courts of the Temple (4) – His presence, where He meets with us – with worship, knowing He has redeemed us from our sins and adopted us into His family.

“For the Lord is good and His love endures forever” (5). Nothing stands between us and the goodness of the Lord. Through Christ, we are His people and He is our Shepherd.
