We read Psalm 22 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today. Psalm 22 was written prophetically and is part of a trilogy of Jesus Christ as Shepherd. In Psalm 22: He dies for the sheep; in Psalm 23: He cares for the sheep, and Psalm 24: He returns in glory. David, who was a prophet as well as a king, was the writer of this Psalm, and he foretold of the crucifixion here. This Psalm is quoted in the Gospels and in Hebrews 2, showing that it IS a Messianic Psalm. As you read through this Psalm, picture Jesus speaking here! With verses 27-28 we see what He accomplished!
27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall bow down and worship before You, 28 For the kingship and the kingdom are the Lord’s, and He is the ruler over the nations.
Amen! He IS Lord! Have YOU made Him YOURS yet? I invite you to check out our website through the link on the left and find out how to do so! Then, you can come back here and look at verses 30-31 to receive instruction on what our next step is!
30 Posterity shall serve Him; they shall tell of the Lord to the next generation. 31 They shall come and shall declare His righteousness to a people yet to be born—that He has done it [that it is finished]!
2 Corinthians 5:18 tells us that all born again believers in Jesus have been called to the ministry of reconciliation, which is simply telling everyone we know that the price for sin has been paid and that all that is required is to believe and receive Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Savior! THAT is the Ministry of Reconciliation! AMEN! Let's go "Tell The World" as we listen to that very song from Hillsong!
Shalom in Him!
