The footsteps of Messiah in the Psalms

Page 87

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.” Heb.10:7:-“ Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.” How was His soul delivered from death? “Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.” (Acts 2:27-32). (See also Psalm 16). How awesome is our God! How undeniable and irrevocable the truth of His Holy Word! How can we not believe His word, accept His love, grace and mercy which He bestows upon us so undeservingly yet abundantly. Can I encourage you to surrender your heart and life to Him unconditionally, His blood still cleanses from all sin and His Holy Spirit power still availeth much. Trust in the Lord and don’t despair, He is a friend so true. No matter what your troubles are, Jesus will see you through! oooooooooooooooooo
