This is a psalm about the Messiah, Our Lord Jesus Christ. It words provide no comfort to His enemies; but to us who love Him, they are sweet.
This is Good Friday, marking His humiliation and torment and death on the Cross–for us. For you and for me.
This Psalm is about what happens afterward.
No question has ever troubled more Christians than, “Am I good enough to get into Heaven?” Have I been good enough? Have I done enough good works? What if you had to do 500 good works, and you could only manage 498? And so on.
Listen to the message of both Testaments of the Bible, from Isaiah to Paul: the bill has been already paid–paid by Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world.
Just listen.
Let’s celebrate Palm Sunday with this clip from the movie, The Gospel of John,.
From the prophecy of Zechariah (9:9):
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Prophecy fulfilled.
