1 | can someone help me understand a parable | Ps 119:176 | Timothy Paul | 47927 | ||
Dear xxxxxkerrixxxx I enjoyed your question and turned to another lost sheep reference, Psalm 119:176, for three reasons. First, it is a confession: I have gone astray, or wander up and down, like a lost sheep. As unconverted sinners are like lost sheep (Lu. 15:4), so weak unsteady saints are like lost sheep, (Mt. 18:12,13.) We are apt to wander like sheep, and are unlikely to find our way once we have chosen the wrong fork in the road. Secondly,it is a request from a believer, to: Rescue me as a good shepherd seeks a wandering sheep to bring it back (Eze34:12.) "Lord, seek me, as I used to seek my sheep when they went astray;’’ for David had been himself a tender shepherd. Thirdly,. An obedient plea: "Though I have wandered, I did not intend to ignore your commandments. So he concludes the Psalm with a sense of remorse for his own sin and a renewed dependence on God’s grace. Now, these thoughts cannot be claimed by me, but I get a lot of my spiritual insight from Matthew Henry in his commentary written in the early 1700s. I took the liberty of editing the text for space and ease of reading. Many Blessings from a sheep who has wandered from afar. Tim |
