Jesus critiqued organized religion's hypocrisy, groupthink, and lack of true righteousness. He valued humility, mercy, and seeking God's approval over empty rituals and self-righteousness. True faith involves a personal relationship with God, not just outward conformity, and certainly not relying on a sense of entitlement based on one's group identity.

Psalm 23 is probably the best known of all the Psalms. It is simple, yet profound and beautiful. People know it. People quote it. But why did David write it? What were the circumstances that led him to these particular words? We can’t know the answer for certain, but it turns out that every stanza of the Psalm corresponds very closely with what happened as David had to flee from Jerusalem in the face of Absalom’s rebellion. Psalm 23 is also an example of prayer, with David meditating about God and praying to Him. This Psalm itself is worth praying frequently. There will come a day when each one of us faces our own valley of the shadow of death.
