Loving Jesus More
past Messianic Psalms

And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto
you, while I was all the same with you lot, that all things must exist fulfilled,
which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets,
and in the psalms, concerning me. Luke 24:44

Your greatest want should exist to know and love Jesus Christ more than. Do y'all know how to practice it? I of God'south chosen ways is to read David's inspired prophecies about Jesus Christ – a souvenir from God to us.

David, the man afterwards God's own middle, was the father of Jesus, and the New Testament often refers to this relationship, from the first verse of the New Testament (Matt 1:1) to the last affiliate (Rev 22:xvi).

Jesus declared that the Quondam Testament scriptures were about Himself (John 5:39), and Paul wrote that knowing Jesus and glorying in Him is the highest pleasure a person can have (I Cor 2:ii; Gal 6:14).

Are y'all like the Greeks that came to worship at a banquet and told Philip, "We would see Jesus" (John 12:20-21)? We cannot let our love of Jesus Christ slip or wane, or we lose our first love for our Lord.

God inspired the Psalms through the greatest praise and worship leader in the Bible and globe history, and they were written for our meditation and musing, for they are from David's own heart and soul.

Most Christians practise non know much more nearly Psalms than Psalm 23. Still it is this book and its very personal praise of God and prophecies of Jesus that is to be sung in the N.T. (Eph 5:18-19; Jas 5:13).

David's greatest joy was to know a future Son would exist Rex forever, so he wrote Psalms about Jesus. They show His coming, sufferings, death, resurrection, rise, priesthood, gifts, judgment, etc.

A Messianic Psalm is any Psalm that is in large part about the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus was Israel's Messiah, which is translated Christ in the N.T. – their anointed Deliverer and Savior (John 1:41; four:25).

At that place are well-nigh 15 psalms that are strongly Messianic: two, 8, 16, 22, twoscore, 41, 45, 68, 69, 89, 91, 102, 109, 110, 118.

Hither are five examples. Meditate on each of these Psalms about Jesus that are also quoted in the N.T.

PSALM 2 … Earthly rulers joined against Him, but God gave Jesus total victory as His Son and King.

PSALM 8 … Jesus humbly came to globe for the states, but God then crowned Him with glory over all things.

PSALM 22 … Jesus in the first person describes His great suffering on the cross to pay for your sins.

PSALM 45 … This is a love vocal – of a glorious Prince and His bride – all almost Jesus' dearest for you.

PSALM 110 … Jesus is both male monarch and priest, for the showtime time in State of israel, and He has made you both.
