What Bible did the Apostle Paul grow up reading? This complex question demonstrates the need for understanding the Septuagint, a fancy name for a stream of translations of the Hebrew Bible into Greek. Dr. Greg Lanier joins us to discuss what the Septuagint is and why it matters today. We talk about common misconceptions about the Septuagint as well as issues of textual transmission and translation. We also dive into debates about the apocrypha or “deuterocanonical” books accepted by Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox, but rejected by Protestants. Get ready for a deep dive into history and theology. Enjoy this episode.

The book of Psalms is perhaps one of the most read from and turned to places in the Bible – and for a good reason. It is a wonderful well of the human experience, capturing reality and giving voice to the emotional ebb and flow that comes with being alive while all the while pointing so beautifully back to God. In today's episode, Saddleback Content Development Pastor Jason Wieland talks with Dr. Ian Vaillancourt about his new book, Treasuring the Psalms. The conversation touches on what makes the Psalms so powerful, seeing Jesus in the Psalms, and how you can live out the psalms in your own life.

How is it that a first-generation Jewish messianic movement undertook a mission to the pagan world and rapidly achieved a momentum that would have a lasting impact on world history? In this monumental two-volume study, Eckhard Schnabel provides a unified and detailed picture of the rise and growth of early Christian mission. He begins with a search for a missionary impulse in the Old Testament and Second Temple Judaism and then weighs the evidence for a mission of Jesus to Gentiles. But the center of focus is the apostolic missionary activity as it is related in Acts, Paul's letters, and the rest of the New Testament. This study seeks to describe all the evidence relevant to the missionary strategy and expansion of the early church, to explain the theological dimensions of the early Christian mission, and to integrate numerous studies published in recent decades into a synthetic picture. Schnabel's detailed analysis will form a solid basis for a new understanding of the rise of Christianity and the nature of Christian mission—both then and now. Eckhard J. Schnabel (PhD, University of Aberdeen) is Mary F. Rockefeller Distinguished Professor of New Testament Studies at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He has taught previously at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (Deerfield, Illinois), Freie Theologische Akademie (Giessen, Germany), Wiedenest Bible College (Bergneustadt, Germany), and Asian Theological Seminary (Manila, Philippines). His books include Early Christian Mission (volumes 1 & 2), Paul the Missionary, and Der erste Brief des Paulus an die Korinther. He is the author of numerous articles, including "Luke" (with David W. Pao) in Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament and contributions in Dictionary of Paul and His Letters and Dictionary of the Later New Testament & Its Developments.

A Christadelphian Video: A Christadelphian Video: The Christadelphians (; or Christadelphianism) are a restorationist and millenarian Christian group who hold a view of biblical unitarianism. There are approximately 70,000 Christadelphians in around 120 countries. The movement developed in the 1800's and their only authority is the inspired scriptures of Truth (The Bible Extant) they aim to follow it's teachings without compromise and this separates them from other Christian denominations, it is the belief that this is the same truth (same Gospel) that was preached to Abraham and subsequently by Christ and the apostles after christ's death and resurrection. They dismiss outright Heaven going (the exception being Christ himself but who will return (Acts 1:11), The Trinity, the Devil or Satan as a supernatural external force, Theistic evolution and evolution, Holy Spirt gifts and other mainstream doctrines held by popular Christianity. They do acknowledge a literal resurrection and judgement of the faithful dead upon Christ's return to the earth at the appointed time when Christ will establish God's Kingdom upon the earth after subduing the opposing religious and political nations (Armageddon).

Jason Hunt- Van Til's Relevance To Hermeneutics

An overview of Jason Hunt's Book: Cornelius Van Til's Doctrine of God and Its Relevance for Contemporary Hermeneutics seeks to answer the question, "What does Van Til have to do with hermeneutics?" It is argued that some of the most relevant concerns in the field of contemporary hermeneutics are similar to those addressed by Van Til in the area of apologetics. Van Til's approach involved a self-conscious consistency between method and theology proper in order to reason according to the Christian worldview found in Scripture. Just as one's apologetic method should be consistent with the theology revealed in the Bible, so also should one's hermeneutic. This work not only argues that Van Til has an important place in the hermeneutical discussion, but also demonstrates his place in terms of the main contours in his doctrine of God. In doing so, certain influences on evangelical hermeneutics are considered according to consistency with theology proper. Lastly, a Van Tillian hermeneutic is applied to the often-debated issue concerning the New Testament use of the Old Testament.

Pastor Daniel Simmons preaches a Christmas sermon from John 1:1-5. Jesus Christ, the Life and Light of Mankind John 1:1-5 Exegetical Main Point: Jesus is the Word made flesh, the life and light of men, come to overcome the darkness. Anyone who believes in him will become children of God. Main Point of the Sermon: Jesus is the light and life of mankind. Introduction Human history is full of stories of people looking for a savior, some manifestation of the gods who would come and bring light and peace in the dark world. In some of the most popular movies and books, you’ll find the same story – think Harry Potter, the Avengers, Stranger Things, or Star Wars. Since the very beginning, humanity has felt it’s need for someone or something to “dispel the gloomy clouds of night and to put death’s dark shadows to flight.” This advent and Christmas season we sing about a Savior and we light candles, our trees, and our homes, all pointing to the light of Christ that has broken the darkness. But still, a tension is felt by all of us, perhaps this year more than any other. The Savior has come, the light is here, but why is the darkness still so heavy upon us? I feel that deeply in this season. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” But even as this little candle light barely flickers in this room – and is so difficult to light in the first place – it feels so often like the darkness IS winning, the little light that is present IS getting snuffed out. Friends, if you feel that today, you’re not alone. And I’m here to proclaim to you a message of hope. The darkness has not, and will not overcome the light. Today’s text shows us that if you’ve received Jesus as your Savior, no matter what darkness touches your world, you will overcome. Let’s Pray GOD: Context We’ve just read from the prologue of John’s Gospel. The Apostle John had a special friendship with Jesus. He is famously called the “disciple whom Jesus loved”. While John was the only Apostle who didn’t die as a martyr, Church history records that after he survived being boiled alive in oil, he was exiled to the Island of Patmos, where he wrote the book of Revelation. John saw Jesus die and was himself well acquainted with suffering. Yet he wrote with confidence that eternal life was found only in this man, Jesus. Later in this book he says, 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. Let’s get into the text to see what made John so confident in this message. Text: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. 1-3 Christmas: the life story that goes beyond the birth story “In the beginning was the Word…” The great mystery of the Christmas story is that behind the famous manger scene and the little baby Jesus is a much bigger story. We consider a baby born, especially one of noble birth, and we get excited, perhaps hopeful. But nothing compares with this. This baby boy’s beginning was strange because it was not actually his beginning. This baby, John writes, was in fact there at the beginning of beginnings. This phrase “in the beginning” is the same phrase found at the beginning of the creation narrative in Genesis. And it is there, at the beginning of time that we find “the Word”. To avoid in confusion of who “the Word” is, allow me to read ahead a little bit. Verse 14: 14 “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us…” John is telling you the story behind the story of the little baby Jesus who took on human flesh. Jesus is the Word who was there at the beginning of all things. Why is John using this language, “the Word”, for Jesus? Though John is very likely drawing from a cultural understanding of this term Logos, most important to him would be what Scripture had taught about “the Word”. Throughout the Old Testament, “the Word” captures the idea of God’s self-expression, or God’s speech. But interestingly, “both psalmists and prophets portray God’s word in close-to-personified terms (Ps. 147:15, 18; Isa. 55:10–11).” For example Psalm 33:6 reads, “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.” Or again in Psalm 107:20, “He sent out his word and healed them…” You see, “the Word” is who made the heavens. “The Word” was sent to heal. But here John “claims that this word has appeared in space-time history as an actual person, Jesus Christ (1:14, 17).”[1] As you continue in verse 1, you see more clearly what John is trying to show us: 1 In the beginning was the Word… and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. So, at the very beginning of time, the Word was present. Who else was present at the beginning? Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning God…” God was present at the beginning and John says, “the Word was with [him].” So, there is God and there is the Word together, but separate. But then John adds, “and the Word was God.” What?! Is he with God or is he God? Yes! Confusing I know, but this is what John is trying to capture with human language. This Jesus is not just any baby boy, but in fact, God, the one who has no beginning, who existed before time was created, who is himself the source of life and all things. He is distinct from God the Father, but himself divine. This is one of many texts from where theologians draw the doctrine of the trinity, that God is both One being and three persons, Father, Son, and Spirit, existing in perfect unity in each of their distinct roles. In verse 2, John reminds us that he is talking about a person. 2 He was in the beginning with God. This divine logos is a person, who had always been with God, described with a personal pronoun. To be clear, John is not teaching here that baby Jesus existed in heaven with God or in human form at all for that matter. No, that’s why verse 14 says that the Word took on flesh. 1) Jesus was not always human 2) but he has always been God, existing long before this birth story, or before any of our birth stories! To show further that this Word made flesh is divine, John describes the divine action of the Word. Verse 3: 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. Jesus creates out of nothing. Who can create out of nothing? Only God. Jesus is God and “all things” were made through him. This is includes everything you see and don’t see. The heavens the earth, angelic beings, physical and spiritual thrones… all things. To make sure you understand that he talking about all things, John emphasizes his point, without him was not any thing made that was made. This includes Jesus himself. He is not a created being, but in fact the uncreated God! Though he was born into the world as a human, don’t be deceived. Jesus is not a created being of the Father, but himself the uncreated one by whom and through whom, and for whom all things exist. Everything that exists, exists because of Jesus, and this Jesus is the one we sing about who was held by human hands, who was born in blood, sweat, tears, and dirt, and was laid in a manger. Marvel with me at this mystery. And why would God do this? This is what John shows us in verse 4. 4-5a, 9-11, 14 Jesus has come to shine in the darkness. 4 In him was life,[a] and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness… Why would God do this? Because God saw you in your darkness. He was born in the night in order to bring light to our world. You see, the problem with the world is not lack of education or healthcare, it’s not the coronavirus, it’s not climate change, it’s not political, economic, or race related. Though all of these things are a result of the problem, they are not the problem. The reason we are dying and these things and many other atrocities exist in our world is the simple fact that we have rejected our source of life. 4 In him was life,[a] and the life was the light of men. Where can we find life and light in this dark and fallen world we live in? Only Jesus! Many religions and philosophies will argue that they have the true path of life, but I need you to know today that Jesus alone is life and light. Without him there is no life and light. The same one who created life in the beginning came to the world he made, to the people he fashioned, carrying the power to recreate us. Jesus is our hope. Jesus is the light and life of men. This is John’s main point and the main thing I want you to get out of this sermon. Friends, God is not just our source of life in that he created us – like a one and done-big-bang-have a good life kind of God. No, he is our daily sustainer – like the air we breathe, the bread we eat, the water we drink, like the roots of the tree. When humanity looks for life in things other than God, we are like someone trying to drink from a cup with holes in it. No matter how much we pour in, it leaks out and never satisfies. This is the great deception of human history – that we can exist and flourish without God, that we are better without him. The lie being whispered in the ear of every person in every time in every place is no different than that which was whispered to Adam and Eve in the garden – “Find life and happiness your own way. You will not die… you will be like God.” Every single human since the beginning, at some point has bought it. Many things promise life and happiness: sex, money, power, drugs, food… even good things are twisted to become god things for us in which we search for life and happiness. We’ve ALL eaten the forbidden fruit, and in so doing we’ve rejected God who is life and thus chosen the path of death. So, humanity is perishing because of their sin. But this brings us back to the Good News of the Christmas story! Verse 5: 5 The light shines in the darkness… The Good News of Christmas is that light has come. The same one who created light with a word has come to restore light to the world. Humanity no longer has to wander in darkness and perish apart from God. Verse 9 says: 9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. Jesus, the long awaited Messiah, promised by God through the prophets, who came to provide true light for all mankind, that we would not have to perish in our sin, but have the opportunity to be brought back to life in him. Little did anyone know, in the little town of Bethlehem, lying in a manger and surrounded by animals and lowly shepherds, was the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the true life and light of the world, the Savior of the world. He stepped down from his throne and entered the dark shadows of night in order to rescue the people he loved from their sickness: sin and death. This is Good News for you and me! But here lies our tension: if the light has come, why do we feel darkness all around us? Is this not just one more empty tale of hope like the stories we watch and read every day? This brings us to the second half of verse 5. YOU 5 12-13 The darkness has not overcome him. 5b “…and the darkness has not overcome it.” These are hope filled words. But also present in these words is the reality of a war. “Overcome”. Do you see the clash of light and dark? There is no question of who wins the war here, but there is a clash nonetheless, and this is exactly what we feel on a daily basis. For Christians, it’s the old man – the old darkness in us – clashing with our new nature in Christ. It’s the daily draw towards the world. It’s the suffering we feel daily, the persecution, the lack, the death all around us. For non-Christians, the clash is still real. Whether the loss of loved ones, the frustrations and disappointments of work, the relational tension, the emotional and mental brokenness, and on and on. Every human feels deeply that something is wrong with the world. We’re looking for a solution as we have for millennia, but the battle rages on. Do you feel it? Pause. (slowly) Jesus entered the thick of it. Verse 10 says, 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. The crowds said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son? We know his parents.” “We know where he came from.” He was driven out of towns. Poor. Homeless. Slandered. Mocked. Spit upon. Ultimately crucified naked before crowds of the people he had spent his life serving, teaching, and healing. Throughout history, Christ has been scorned and hated and rejected… by the very people he created, who lived and had their being in him, who were ultimately owned by him. And why? Why did they reject him? John writes in chapter 3 verse 19: 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. At the center of the war between light and darkness is our own hearts. This is so important. The pain we feel in this dark world is not the root problem. It’s just a symptom of the problem. The problem is our sin and rebellion towards God. The light has come to save us and yet we are prone to reject him. Why? Because we love the darkness more than the light. We prefer our sin. Our hearts have actually become slaves to darkness. Everyone who lives in opposition to God, doing the things he forbids and refusing to do that which he commands, “hates the light”, and refuses to come to the light because it would expose the emptiness and evil of their lives. Some of you might say, “Daniel, I don’t hate Jesus. I just don’t believe that he is the only way to be saved.” Friend, in saying such a thing you’ve chosen to believe a different gospel message. The world says you can have God and the world, Jesus and your idols, you can sleep with your girlfriend and be a Christian. As long as you don’t hurt anyone, believe what you want to believe and you’ll be ok. “Don’t make it so black and white, pastor.” The problem is, I’m not the one making it black and white… God is. When Jesus says that he is “the way, the truth, the life, that no one comes to the Father but through him” (Jn 14:6), he is saying clearly that no other religion, no philosophy, no good works, nothing, can save apart from him. Any message that leads you to believe otherwise is a lie from hell and nothing more than a war tactic of the darkness. The battle between light and dark rages. The devil is defeated but he will bring down as many with him as possible. Who’s side are you on? I’m shooting it strait right now because I love you and want good for you. I’m just as rebellious at heart apart from the mercy of God. And this is where hope is for you and me today. John writes in verse 12, “12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.” The truth of the matter is that every one of us at one point hated the light because our works were evil and deserve death as a result. Jesus knew he would be rejected. But he came anyway. He knew he would be crucified, though he was innocent. But he willingly chose that path so that anyone who received him, who believed in him, would be reconciled with God, not as slaves, forced to obey in fear, but as children of God, brought to his house, his table, his arms. Those who believe in the Jesus are in fact, adopted into his family through Jesus. Elsewhere, John describes this great transfer out of darkness into light as rebirth. The believer is born again. How? Not of blood by human parents like at first, but by God’s power. Just as God spoke into the darkness at the beginning of creation, “Let there be light” and there was light. Those who believe in Jesus are made new in an instant, recreated, no longer belonging to darkness, but to light, so that their primary happiness is not found in the works of darkness, but in the works of light. Those who have been born again no longer see Jesus’s light as pathetic, poor, or a kill-joy, but as the glory of God – our very life. This is the miracle of Christmas that takes place every day in millions upon millions of lives presently and throughout history – “the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.” The Kingdom of God is advancing in hearts around the world. Satan and his workers seek to stop the light from spreading, but the Word of God cannot be stopped! The darkness has not overcome it. Christmas is a global message of hope, healing, and happiness for all who believe. But what about those who have believed but who feel darkness surrounding them daily as I’ve mentioned? Are you going to tell me, “Just believe and everything will be ok?” No, the message of the Bible is more robust than that. Following Christ does not mean that suffering will come to an end. Just the opposite. Christ promises us that just as he was rejected by men, we too will be rejected – light continues to clash with the dark. But the same truth still applies – “the darkness has not overcome it.” For those who believe in Christ, you have a source of contentment and hope that goes deeper than any suffering or pain you are walking through. When you are united to Jesus through faith, eternity has begun for you. Because you have been reunited to the source of life – you are promised eternal life – and nothing can separate us from the love of God. Nothing can overcome the Light! Nothing can ultimately overcome you. Not even sin. If you are wrestling to overcome sin, God promises not to count your record against you any longer, but to give you Christ’s perfect record. Not even death. If Coronavirus took you, you would step into the presence of our Savior and rule with him. Even as he was raised from death after three days, you will be raised. No suffering in this world will ultimately destroy you because of the life you are connected to. You know the eternal life. Therefore, no loss in this world will ultimately be lost to you. Jesus will restore all to you. He promises eternal life in a new heaven and new earth. The battle has been won. It was finished at the cross. Proven through the resurrection. If Christ has been raised, we will rise with him. The battle still rages, but only because God is patient with those who are yet to hope in him and find refuge from the final destruction coming on the darkness of the world and Satan. If you do not know Jesus and have this hope in him today, now is the time to come to him and receive forgiveness from your sins, deliverance from your darkness, and life in his name. I will be down in the front after the service and I would like to talk with you if you want that, or grab most anyone in this room. WE So this Christmas, if you are trusting Jesus there is reason to REJOICE. The Light and life has come and the darkness has not, will not, overcome. This Christmas, rejoice! Even in your suffering, rejoice. In your grieving, rejoice. Rejoice because Satan is defeated, sin is overcome, and you belong to the Family of God. So Church, come, let us adore him, for all that he is and for all that he has done. He is truly worthy of our praise! Emmanuel! Christ has come and Christ will come again! Let’s Pray Benediction comes from Revelation 21:6-7: 6 And [Jesus said], “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life. 7 All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children. If you are suffering and you need prayer, come and let us pray with you. Merry Christmas! [1] Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament

The Bible makes sense in its deepest and richest capacity only when we read it through Jesus shaped goggles. When we see all of it through the lens of its Main Character - it should cause us to preach explicitly Christian sermons.Recorded November 31 in Bradenton FloridaChrist Centered Preaching Handout1. Two vital hermeneutics:1. First, we must have a good grasp on the original context of our particular passage and the original intent of the message. (who wrote this and why?)2. Second, we must always understand the context of our passage within the context of all of scripture, and also understand it in terms of the grand narrative of God’s redemption.2. Redemptive-Historical progression1. Redemptive-historical progression traces God’s history with the world from his good creation (Gen 1), to the human fall into sin and God’s plan of redemption through the seed of the woman (Gen 3:15), to a long history of God continuing the line of the seed of the woman (Gen 3 - Malachi), to Christ (the Gospels), the Church (Acts and the New Testament Letters), and finally to the new creation (Rev 22).2. In other words, in the Bible we can trace a continuous redemptive history which centers in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who then ascends to rule his church from heaven until he comes again. Creation to New Creation.3. Promise Fulfillment1.If the text contains a promise of the coming Messiah, then you can easily move to the New Testament to show the ultimate fulfillment of the promise in Jesus Christ.1. Example: “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until tribute comes to him; and the obedience of the peoples is his.” - Gen 49:102. Show the fulfillment in Matthew 1:1-17 Jesus Christ, the king of kings, born of the tribe of Judah and the House of David.4. Typology1. Old Testament events, persons, or institutions can function as types which foreshadow the great Antitype - the person and work of Jesus Christ.2. Examples: The fall of Adam and Eve. Adam is the human race’s representative, he prefigures Christ the second Adam, who also is a representative of a new human race.1. Noah’s Ark; The Ark of the Covenant; the tabernacle; the rock in the wilderness; Crossing the red sea; The Passover Lamb; Pentecost; Issac; Moses; Joshua; King David…etc5. Analogy1. Analogy exposes parallels between what God taught Israel and what Christ promises the Church; what God demanded of Israel (the Law) and what Christ demands of his Church.2. Example: Genesis 12:1-9 Israel must claim Canaan for the Glory of God; in the New Testament Jesus mandates his Church to claim all nations for God (Matt 28:18-20) Your message or theme then would be something like -God reclaiming the earth as his good kingdom through the work of Christ.6. Longitudinal Themes1. Although similar to redemptive-historical progression in some ways, it is distinct in focusing on the development of theological ideas rather than development in redemptive history. Longitudinal themes refers to themes that can be traced through the scriptures from the Old Testament to the New - Themes such as God’s coming kingdom, God’s covenant, home and exile, rest and sabbath, God’s redemption, righteousness and nakedness, God’s presence, God’s love, God’s faithfulness, God’s grace, God’s justice and judgment, God’s providence.1. Every major Old Testament theme leads to Christ7. New Testament Reference1. The New Testament reference makes a direct bridge to Christ.1.Example: God created his good creation by his powerful “word”; John in his gospel tells us that that “Word” is Jesus Christ (John 1:1,3)8. Contrast1. Because of the coming of Christ the text’s message for the contemporary Church may be quite different from the original message for Israel. So we preach by contrast.2. Example: circumcision was a commanded by God for every Jew; but for us we know that Christ is our circumcision and circumcision is a heart issue. Circumcision was the outward sign of the Old covenant, but in Christ baptism is the sign of the New Covenant- which is an outward expression that we have died with Christ and have been raised with him to new life.. So we contrast the the Old and the New.Examples 1-8 taken and adapted from Sydney Greidanus Preaching Christ from Genesis*9. The Imperative vs. Indicatives model1. An Imperative is an immediate action. Example of a Biblical imperative: “Do not be drunk with wine which is dissipation but be filled with the Spirit.”2. An Indicative serves as a sign or indication of something. Example: “You were bought with a price; do not become bondservants of men.”3. The idea here is that God never commands us to do something apart from the grace he has already shown us through the work of Christ. The commands of God are never separate from who he is and what he has done for us in Christ4. Though obviously clear in the letters of Paul and most of the NT, we can see this model going back all the way to the giving of the Ten Commandments.1. “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before me…”1. Scripture is full of the Imperative vs. Indicative model showing us that whatever we do for God it is out of grateful love and adoration of what he has already done for us. This is a wonderful exercise for the mind and heart of any pastor and wonderful tool for us as ministers of the Gospel.10. Jesus as fulfillment to our hopes and longings.1. What is the scripture commanding or offering to us? What is it, and why we want and need it?2. How do we fail to live up to this command or standard? Or how and why we fail to obtain what is offered.3. How does Jesus and what he has done through the cross answer my dilemma?? How Jesus offers it to us freely. (Themes like Freedom, righteousness, faithfulness, bravery/courage, justice & mercy, forgiveness, love, etc)11. Connecting our story to a Biblical character or Biblical story1.Any passages where we are dealing with an Old Testament character who is showing incredible faith/trust in God we can ask the simple question - how much more reason do we have to trust God? We have God’s complete trust-worthiness displayed in the cross. Jesus, God incarnate, became vulnerable, weak, helpless, killable - for you and for me. You can trust him. We have much greater reason to trust God than any OT figure because of the cross.Recommended Resources for Further Study:Books:Jesus Storybook Bible - Sally Lloyd JonesPreaching - Tim KellerChrist Centered Preaching - Brian ChappellPreaching Christ in All of Scripture - Edmund ClowneyPreaching Christ in Genesis - Sidney GreidanusPreaching the Whole Bible as Christian Scripture - Graeme GoldsworthyThe Soul Winner - Charles SpurgeonStanding in Grace - David GuzikPreaching and Preachers - Martyn Lloyd-JonesThe Heart of the Gospel - Martyn Lloyd-JonesChrist in the Psalms - Patrick Henry ReardonThe Gospel - Ray Ortlund JrRhythms of Grace - Mike CosperRomans: Encountering God’s Power - John StottProdigal God - Tim KellerKnowing God - J.I.

On our website, you will find teaching on different areas of faith. The audio podcast series, “Removing Doubt from the Heart,” addresses numerous vital aspects of faith. These articles address another part to faith, one that is by no means less important. Why are we doing this? We are contending earnestly for the faith! Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ (Jude 1:3-4 NET). There was a faith that was once for all delivered to the saints, and in these articles, we are contending earnestly for it. Do you know how faith was viewed in apostolic times? You may think you know, but allow this series to challenge you, and possibly, to bring you additional light to whatever concept of faith you may have. Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified (2 Corinthians 13:5 NKJV). These articles have to do with examining and testing yourself to see whether the faith you and me have is genuine. …That the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ… (1Peter 1:7 NKJV) We need some solid information properly drawn from the Scripture to know about this genuine faith in order to function and live by it. For the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel from faith to faith, just as it is written, “The righteous by faith will live.” (Romans 1:17 NET) Real Bible faith is not commonplace. Actually, before the coming of the Lord, it may be in comparatively short supply. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth? (Luke 18:8 NET) What a question! It's there as a challenge to you and me in Christ. I want to be among those that Jesus says when He comes, “I found faith in him.” Don't you? I am doing my part earnestly so that the message of faith gets out to the Body of Christ. Are you doing it too? You can help spread the word by forwarding these articles and the audios on the subject of faith on our website. We need this message of faith today  because we are closer to His coming!   The key that unlocks Paul’s own views and interpretations Here is how we will begin to study this side of the subject of faith. We begin with a question.   How did the great apostle Paul (and others) use the word faith? How can we be 100% positive as to the apostolic interpretation of that word 2000 years ago? Wouldn’t that be the most important consideration when reading the epistles? We do not want to take our modern idea of the definition of faith and read it back into the New Testament. Yet, that is precisely what is done on many fronts. The key that unlocks Paul’s own views and interpretations can be found in the many quotations, references, and allusions from the Old Testament in his epistles. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:14-17 NKJV). Paul was not filling up space when he quoted Old Testament Scripture. It was the basis for his teaching. Paul’s doctrine (teaching) was centered on the Old Testament, the Holy and inspired-by-God Scriptures. The New Testament wasn’t yet written in his day. All that existed in his day was the Old Testament. For some reason, many believe that Paul’s doctrinal position came uniquely via a special revelation unrelated to the Hebrew Old Testament. Paul’s doctrine or teaching was constructed out of that already revealed in Holy Scriptures, according to 2nd Timothy 3:15 and 16. The Hebrew Bible was his foundation even though he wrote in Greek, and quoted from the Greek Septuagint translation of the Old Testament. We will say much more about all that in the next article. To make it even harder to swallow for those in the grip of modern interpretations, Paul stated that the OLD TESTAMENT Hebrew Bible (The Holy Scriptures) was “able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” Paul was solidly basing the salvation message he taught through faith in Christ Jesus on the Old Testament Holy Scriptures. What? Paul was preaching Jesus and salvation through faith by using the Old Testament? That alone, throws some traditional thoughts into a tailspin, and we are just getting started! Paul’s doctrine was rooted and grounded in the Hebrew Holy Scriptures. Yet, some foolishly throw out the Hebrew Holy Scriptures in favor of Paul’s epistles viewed according to new interpretations that have nothing to do with the apostle’s doctrine. Some even throw out the words of Jesus in the Gospels, and have proclaimed Paul the “savior” of the Gentiles. It is truly disgusting how some deny the words of our Lord today. Not only is it repulsive, it is deeply anti-Christ to reject the words of our Master, Jesus. If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words… (1Timothy 6:3, 4 NKJV) We must consent to the words of Jesus in the Gospels (and Acts and Revelation), and to the doctrine which accords with godliness. [1] Those that reject these are full of pride, they don’t know anything, and they are obsessed with disputes and arguments. Have you come across any people like that? They believe that the words of Jesus and the Old Testament are irrelevant for believers today because they believe His words were contrary to grace and were under the law. Is that teaching anti-Christ and anti-God? Yes it is. It is also anti - the Holy Scriptures. To present this study properly, a few things must be addressed before we begin a discussion on the subject of faith and believing. It is vital to understand the immense importance of the Old Testament to New Testament word studies. According to David H. Stern’s translation, The Jewish New Testament, there are 695 verses of the Old Testament quoted from Matthew to Revelation.[2] Those are direct verse quotations (or parts of verses), but there are many more references and hints to Old Testament passages in the New Testament. Roger Nicole, in the The Expositor’s Bible Commentary, [3] stated that some of the quotations and references in the New to the Old Testament could be as high as 4,105: “The New Testament contains an extraordinarily large number of Old Testament quotations. It is difficult to give an accurate figure since the variation in use ranges all the way from a distant allusion to a definite quotation introduced by an explicit formula stating the citation’s source. As a result, the figures given by various authors often reflect a startling discrepancy…. C. H. Toy lists 613 such instances, Wilhelm Dittmar goes as high as 1640, while Eugen Huehn indicates 4105 passages reminiscent of Old Testament Scripture. It can therefore be asserted, without exaggeration that more than 10 per cent of the New Testament text is made up of citations or direct allusions to the Old Testament. The recorded words of Jesus disclose a similar percentage. Certain books like Revelation, Hebrews, Romans are well nigh saturated with Old Testament forms of language, allusions and quotations.”[4] Did you get that? Certain books like Revelation, Hebrews, and Romans are well nigh saturated with Old Testament forms of language, allusions, and quotations. My question is simple. How could we possibly understand books like Romans, Revelation or Hebrews without looking closely at the Old Testament verses quoted and alluded to in them? If we don’t study the Old Testament, especially the sections or verses quoted in the New, we are left with a huge doctrinal and interpretational void. Many have made up new interpretations because they have completely ignored the Hebrew Biblical text. So that we are clear, ignoring the original Hebrew of the Old Testament is not a new problem, but one that has dogged the Church relentlessly for centuries. We will tackle that issue on a basic level in these articles. If so many verses, references, and allusions to the Hebrew Scripture are all over the New Testament, does that make the Old Testament obsolete, or does it grant the Old Testament a place of prominence in the New Testament? Yes, the Old Testament has a highly visible and prominent place in the New Testament. It has a place of honor and respect, and it is indispensible to gain a right doctrinal perspective in the New Testament. Since Paul quoted profusely from the Old Testament Holy Scriptures, should we pay close attention to these quotations? Here’s a verse I quoted above to start our study of faith. Paul cites an Old Testament verse as a proof text for what he was teaching. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” (Romans 1:17 NKJV) Paul quoted a part of Habakkuk 2:4 in the second half of Romans 1:17.[5] Where was Paul’s definition of faith coming from? Was it from some special revelation only given to him? No! His definition of faith was from the Old Testament, written centuries before he wrote Romans 1:17. If Paul quoted from an Old Testament verse, then he was relying on its definition and message. More to come!   NOTES: [1] Doctrine is the same Greek word in 2nd Timothy 3:16 and 1st Timothy 6:3. [2] Lederer Messianic Publications; 1st edition (September 1, 1989) [3] Zondervan, Grand Rapids, 1979, Vol. 1, p. 617 [4] Roger Nicole, “New Testament Use of the Old Testament,” Carl F.H.

Explain your Hardships to the Lord (Psalm 69:1-4) A. “I feel like I am drowning” (v. 2) B. “I am in a regular state of grief” (v. 3) C. “Everywhere I turn there is more hurt” (v. 4) John 15:20, 24-25 - Remember the word that I said to you, “A slave is not greater than his master.” If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well. But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’” II. Remain Passionate for God’s Glory (vv. 5-12) A. Despite your personal sin (v. 5) B. Despite the poor treatment by others (vv. 6-8, 10-12) C. In order to follow the example of Christ (v. 9) John 2:17 - His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house will consume me.” Romans 15:3 - For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.” III. Cry to the Lord for Rescue (vv. 13-21) A. Rather than complaining about it or just dwelling on it (vv. 13-19) B. Because the Lord has a compassionate character (v. 13, 16) Judges 10:16 - So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord; and He could bear the misery of Israel no longer. C. Rather than finding other sources of comfort (vv. 20-21) “The offer of ‘sour wine’ is an act of mockery and insult. The soldiers join the mockery of Jesus by offering him the cheap wine that was popular among the lower ranks of society, insulting the ‘king’ whom they have crucified. The allusion, if intended, explains another detail of Jesus’ crucifixion against the background of another psalm that describes the treatment of a righteous sufferer by his enemies, highlighting both Jesus’ suffering in being mocked and the fulfilment of Scripture in what Jesus had to endure at the cross.” (Pao and Schnabel, “Luke,” in Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament. Eds. G. K. Beale and D.A. Carson. Baker: Grand Rapids, 2007, 397) IV. Remember that God will Bring about Justice at the Proper Time (vv. 22-28) A. However Jesus and Paul prayed for forgiveness rather than retribution B. For when justice comes, the opportunities are over (v. 28) Acts 1:20 - For it is written in the book of Psalms, “Let his homestead be made desolate, and let no one dwell in it”; and, “Let another man take his office.” Romans 11:7-10 - What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened; just as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes to see not and ears to hear not, down to this very day.” And David says, “Let their table become a snare and a trap, and a stumbling block and a retribution to them. Let their eyes be darkened to see not, and bend their backs forever.” V. Praise the Lord for His Deliverance (vv. 29-36) A. From individual sin (vv. 29-31) B. To share with others (vv. 32-36)  Outlined Manuscript Happy Mother’s Day. We realize that today is a very encouraging day for some and a challenging for others. It is our prayer that our time in the Word and in song today serves everyone. We want to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. Our annual theme is In Christ Alone. At this point we are considering how several Psalms look beyond the human author and point directly to the person and ministry of Jesus Christ. Thus, we have entitle our series Seeing Christ in the Psalms. Two weeks ago Pastor Viars used Psalm 16 to show how we could be Confident in Christ, then Pastor Aucoin used Psalm 40 to show how our relationship with Christ leads us to praise. Today, we will use Psalm 69 to show how we can Learn to handle Righteous Suffering. Let’s begin by thinking about suffering in general. 1 Peter 4:15-16 Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler; 16 but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name. Verse 15 is clear that sometimes our suffering is due to the consequences of our sin. Sin has a price. The proper response when we experience suffering from God’s discipline is to repent of our sin and turn to God. Sometimes our gracious Lord allows the bitter taste of suffering to drive us to repentance. But that is not our subject matter today. We are interested in the content of v. 16. What happens when my suffering comes when I am doing right? I think this is part of the human experience. Have you ever been treated harshly when you did nothing to deserve it? Maybe there are people in your school that are naturally bigger and stronger or maybe just with a whole lot more attitude than others and they bully people … including you. Maybe you have a sibling or two that does not treat you very well and you have not done anything to deserve it. Maybe your spouse was grumpy and started taking out their bad attitude on you. All you did was occupy a similar space. Maybe your boss is all stressed out and under some pressure so he or she unloads their frustrations on you. Righteous suffering, for a Christian, can be a normal experience. So what do we do? How do we respond? With that in mind please turn in your Bibles to Psalm 69. That is on page ____ of the back section of the Bible in the chair in front of you. As you are turning there I would like to highlight a few points about our series. The whole Bible, in one way or another, points in the direction of Jesus. Some passages point more directly than others. The Psalms that we are looking at in our series are Psalms that speak about the human author’s experience (in our case that will be David), but also to the experience of Jesus in very direct ways. That is why we call them Christological Psalms. They clearly and directly point to Christ. One of the reasons that we know certain Psalms describe Christ’s experience is that the NT authors use the Psalm when talking about Christ. That is one of the defining features of Psalm 69. It is one of the most often quoted Psalms in the NT. We are going to work our way through the Psalm. But we are going to do so by thinking about David, about Jesus, and about us all at the same time. Please follow along as I read the entire Psalm. This is the Word of the Lord. [Read Psalm 69] I would like us to consider 5 truths to apply when you suffer for doing what is right I. Explain your hardships to the Lord (Psalm 69:1-4) I am amazed at the way David especially opens up his heart to the Lord. In Psalm 6 he says that he cries himself to sleep. In Psalm 13 he asks God how long he will forget about him. Now in Psalm 69 we see him saying … “I feel like I am drowning” (v. 2) Downing is one intense experience. I was not a great swimmer growing up, but about 6 years ago I learned to swim reasonably well. But this day was the first time I had ever swam in open water. It was a terrifying experience. Obviously, I made it, but for while there I wondered. David uses the drowning analogy to describe the condition of his hardships. We all have to wrestle with how much we say in a 10 second conversation with another person… “How are you?” “Fine” “Awesome, have a great day!” When we are not fine we wonder just how much we should say. But friends, please listen, when you speak with the Lord he wants you to lay it all out there. God did not want his people trying to bury all of their emotions and struggles. That is especially true when you are suffering, like David in this Psalm and like Jesus, for doing nothing wrong. In Hebrews, one of the reasons Jesus suffered was to be a faithful high priest sensitive to the struggles of the human life. Save me O God, I feel like I am drowning. “I am in a regular state of grief” (v. 3) David often speaks of his tears. I have always found it amazing that David would do that. Even as a young man he was not afraid of a fight. In fact, when he hears Goliath he decides he has to do something. But before he speaks with King Saul. He learns that Saul has made an offer. He offered his daughter in marriage, riches, and tax free status to the soldier that kills Goliath. What more could a man need? A Girl, gold, and tax free status. David was not afraid of a fight. Later, King Saul did not give David any of those things. So when Saul’s daughter wanted to marry David, Saul makes him a deal (he deserved her anyway!). Bring back 100 Philistine foreskins. It is safe to assume that you did not ask for those. Nor could you set up a gofundme page in order to have my dream wedding. David brings back 200. David was a warrior. Yet, David was not afraid to tell the Lord all about his suffering. He was not afraid to go to the Lord and tell him that his eyes hurt from crying so much. He was not afraid to tell the Lord that his constant crying made him thirsty. “Everywhere I turn there is more hurt” (v. 4) For David, the suffering seemed relentless. It is here that we get our first quotation in the NT. Jesus teaches his disciples that despite all the miracles Jesus has done the people have rejected him and the disciples needed to be prepared for rejection themselves. John 15:20, 24-25 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; 24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well. 25 But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’ Friends, we live in a world that is not always friendly to the things of God. When you have those moments where you righteously suffer … you are in good company. So Jesus completely understands. He wants you to tell him like it is. He wants you to express your thoughts and emotions to him. While we explain our hardships we also … II. Remain Passionate for God’s Glory (vv. 5-12) Righteous suffering was never meant to result in idleness. Righteous suffering is a time for action. Even though David feels like he is drowning and that he there is nowhere that he can go where one of his enemies is not there, he remains passionate for God’s glory. He is interested in faithfulness to the Lord. Righteous suffering sure has a few obstacles … Despite your personal sin (v. 5) This verse clearly shows that the entire Psalm is not first about Jesus, but about David. David acknowledges that he is a sinner, but he is also arguing that his suffering (this time at least) is not the direct result of sin. I find this helpful as well. I can remain humble about my own sin and yet remain steadfast that this time someone is causing me grief without reason and I can continue pursuing God’s glory in the process. Despite the poor treatment by others (vv. 6-8, 10-12) David’s reputation and his relationships have been impacted by his enemies. Maybe they spread false rumors about him. Maybe they shared true things about him that other people did not need to know. Either way, it is impacted his public reputation and his family environment (v. 8) But it actually got worse. In v. 12 those who sit in the gate area (a common place for judges and town leaders to gather). If that were not bad enough, David is the subject of the made up songs drunks sing when they are belly up at the bar. That is rough … but did you notice v. 9? It speaks to what David was doing while all this hot mess was happening around him. He was zealous for the Lords house. In order to follow the example of Christ (v. 9) This is huge. When Jesus cleanses the temple … he removes all the merchants and drives out this special temple economy where the religious leaders were getting rich from the parishoners. Then we find these words … John 2:17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house will consume me.” When the disciples thought about the cleansing of the temple their minds went to Psalm 69. Jesus is exhibiting passion for God’s house. They know that the religious leaders are not going to like that. The very next verse says, “by what authority are you doing these things?” When Paul was teaching, he reminded the Romans that they may experience suffering just as David did and just as Jesus did by quoting Psalm 69:9. Romans 15:3 For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.” Friends, when you stand strong in your faith. When you stand strong in your actions … zealous for the cause of Christ … in the midst of unjust suffering then you are following the example of Christ and the heroes of the faith. Just in case the Romans got a little nervous about following that example Paul gave them v. 4 which explains that the Scriptures (all the Scriptures) were written so that we might have hope. So, when that bully is messing with you again … saying mean things trying to destroy your reputation … remain passionate (zealous) for God’s glory. When your spouse is treating you unfairly and you are tempted to unload on them … choose to remain zealous for the Lord. When your boss is angry at you because he or she is facing a lot of pressure and you just happen to be present … choose to remain zealous for the Lord. When your employees bad mouth you and you know that you are doing everything you can to allow them to keep their jobs … remain zealous for the Lord. What I have suggested so far is that when you suffer you first determine whether your suffering is a consequence for your sin or whether it is righteous suffering. If it is righteous suffering then you first explain all your hardships to the Lord. While you talk to the Lord you also remain passionate for God’s glory. Psalm 69 continues by encouraging us to… III. Cry to the Lord for Rescue (vv. 13-21) I think the overwhelming testimony of Scripture is that suffering for righteousness is a good thing. According to 1 Peter 4:15 we glory God when we have that opportunity. That does not mean, however, that our life will be defined by suffering. One of my seminary professors used to say that he believed in a call to suffering. Some believers, by the plan of God, were going to suffer for Christ. However, it is normally the case that suffering is for a season. David asks God to deliver him from his suffering. O God, answer me (v. 13) Deliver me (v. 14) Rescue me (v. 15) Answer me (v. 16) Do not hide from me (v. 17) Draw near to me (v. 18) Rather than complaining about it or just dwelling on it (vv. 13-19) At times unjust suffering makes us feel powerless. We think that our only option is to take it from our classmate, neighbor, brother, sister, spouse, boss, or co-worker. We have no recourse because either they have leadership over us or the leadership does not seem to care. So what we do is start complaining about it. We might find sympathetic voices. Leaders can get together with other leaders and talk about how hard it is to lead people. Spouses can find people who also believe they are suffering unjustly. But sometimes we don’t even have to share it. We can dwell on it instead. We can spend hours upon hours being impacted in our hearts. The big problem with this is that it cripples us for accomplishing what God wants us to accomplish. We use our emotional energy to complain in our hearts. Instead, we need to ask God to rescue us. David turns to the Lord over and over again asking with a series of imperatives for God to take action. Because the Lord has a compassionate character (v. 13, 16) David thinks very carefully about the reason God would act. He would act because he is a compassionate person. Earlier this year I was reading through Judges and I came across a verse that caught my attention. Judges 10:16 So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord; and He could bear the misery of Israel no longer. In context, Judges is in response to the consequences for sin … not righteous suffering. Even then, even in the midst of our own foolishness, God can only bear so much. How much more for the Lord to see his righteous suffering. The Lord may call us to a special ministry of suffering for specific purposes. But the general way God works is that suffering is for a season and while we are in that suffering we can ask the Lord to rescue us. Rather than finding other sources of comfort (vv. 20-21) David looks for comforters, but he does not find any real comfort in them. In fact, what he receives is more ill treatment. It is this verse that every gospel writer uses to describe what the soldiers did to Jesus. He was thirsty. Rather than give him a drink of quality wine … the dying are to receive some relief from their pain … they give trashy wine to add the misery of a horrible taste in your mouth to the pain that exists everywhere else. David Pao and Eckhard Schnabel beautifully described these events, “The offer of ‘sour wine’ is an act of mockery and insult. The soldiers join the mockery of Jesus by offering him the cheap wine that was popular among the lower ranks of society, insulting the ‘king’ whom they have crucified. The allusion, if intended, explains another detail of Jesus’ crucifixion against the background of another psalm that describes the treatment of a righteous sufferer by his enemies, highlighting both Jesus’ suffering in being mocked and the fulfilment of Scripture in what Jesus had to endure at the cross.” (Pao and Schnabel, “Luke,” in Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament. Eds. G. K. Beale and D.A. Carson. Baker: Grand Rapids, 2007, 397). Sam Wright’s testimony hit this point beautifully. She described the hurts that come from days like Mother’s Day and encouraged all of us to find our rescue in the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. His suffering and the fulfillment of suffering is what makes rescue possible. So cry out to him … there is a sympathetic ear on the other end of the line with the power to make a difference. I hope at this point you are already encouraged that Psalm 69 not only describes the experience of David, not only is it fulfilled in Christ, but it also provides hope and help in the midst of suffering. I also hope that you are even a little convicted. I know there are times in my life where I truly was suffering righteously. I did not deserve the poor treatment given to me by others. But I did not (and maybe do not) respond like this. Talk to God? Maybe I just talk to myself. Remain passionate for God’s glory? Maybe I try to find a way to get a little bit of that glory. Cry to the Lord for rescue? Maybe I reserve myself to the fact that something is not going to change and do not ask the Lord for anything. Psalm 69 is loaded with truth. I have received enough for the sermon already, but there is more encouragement and more conviction … IV. Remember that God will bring about justice at the proper time (vv. 22-28) I mentioned David was a warrior. While David allowed people to say things against him, he was also pretty rough on his enemies. The #1 hit record (does that phrase show my age or what? I did not say CD, nor did I say 8 track, nor did I say music video) in ancient Israel was Saul has slain his thousands but David has slain his ten thousands. Now he is praying that God would bring about justice. This is not a prayer of revenge as much as it is a prayer for God to properly repay the wicked for their wicked actions. Verse 26 is what David is particularly upset about … God has called him to suffer, but his enemies add persecution to it. God has brought about trouble, but his enemies go and tell others about it. When we righteously suffer we must be careful not to create a revengeful or a competitive spirit. Where it is really about you and me.  Instead we are asking for God to bring about his righteous justice. However Jesus and Paul prayed for forgiveness rather than retribution It is also helpful to remember that in the midst of righteous suffering Jesus prayed for those who were persecuting him. On the cross, Jesus was not asking for retribution, he was asking that they would be forgiven. Even Paul confessed that he would rather suffer in hell then for his brothers to do so. It reflects a heart desiring people be saved. So our first thought should not be one of retribution, but asking God to his work in the heart of a person so that they can be forgiven. For when justice comes the opportunities are over (v. 28) The sobering reality is that the NT uses this section of Psalm 25 two times. Acts 1:20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his homestead be made desolate, And let no one dwell in it’; and, ‘Let another man take his office.’ This is a reference to Judas. After he betrayed Jesus he kills himself, leaving his homestead to someone else and his position as one of the twelve is taken by someone else. This was a final decision. No more opportunities. Romans 11:7-10 7 What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened; 8 just as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, Eyes to see not and ears to hear not, Down to this very day.” 9 And David says, “Let their table become a snare and a trap, And a stumbling block and a retribution to them. 10 “Let their eyes be darkened to see not, And bend their backs forever.” This is in reference to the nation of Israel. Paul explains how Israel refused to follow the Lord and refused to acknowledge that Jesus is messiah. As a result they do not have eyes to see or ears to hear. In Psalm 69:28 we find the striking comment about “blotting their name from the book of Life.” In each case, when justice came the opportunities were over. That is a sobering reminder regarding life and even how we process righteous suffering. There is a sense in which we want God to make all things right and knowing that God will make them right gives us comfort and encouragement to face each new challenge. But before we run too quickly to the concept of justice let’s ask the Lord to rescue the people who are harming us. Let’s ask that the Lord would turn his lovingkindness in their direction just as he has turned it in our direction. The final section of Psalm 69 encourages us to … V. Praise the Lord for his deliverance (vv. 29-36) David’s affliction did not disappear in the middle of this Psalm. But David nevertheless finds a way to praise. His praise centers on God’s salvation. He believes that God will deliver him. Praise is God’s mind is better than an ox. Pastor Aucoin explained last week that while the sacrifices were required, they were never an end in themselves. It was the heart of the worshipper and ultimately the sin that Jesus would pay once for all that made the sacrifices so important. That is why we can praise the Lord for his deliverance … From individual sin (vv. 29-31) In Christ there is rescue not just from the people who mistreat you, but more importantly from the sin that separates you from a holy God. Just as every other part of this psalm has been a pointer to Christ so also does this part point to the ultimate deliverance found in the D/B/R of Jesus Christ. In the last two months I have been part of two memorial services. Praise the Lord that both Lester and Margaret Bell knew the Lord. But as I looked out at the audience I could not help but wonder how many of the rest would spend eternity with the Lord if they died today. I want to ask you that … If you were to die today and God should ask you, Why should I let you into my heaven? What would you tell him? Would you tell him that you have been a good person? Would you tell him that you attended church reasonably frequently? Would you tell him that you invested your time and money into things that would make a difference for the cause of Christ? The only answer that carries any weight is that you have acknowledged your sin and you have trusted in the D/B/R of Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. I want to encourage you to do that today. To share with others (vv. 32-36) When we experience deliverance, we want to share it with others. David invited other worshippers to come and celebrate the Lord’s deliverance with him. That is a significant part of our ministry. We do not want to hide the deliverance, we want to share it. I encourage you to pray for the youth (Finals, then missions trip to Lafayette) I encourage you to pray for the Hispanic class (beginning an ESL ministry) I encourage you to sign up and pray for VBS Part of the way that we let people know about the deliverance is that we go to them. The concept of righteous suffering is an important one. David experienced it. He was willing to admit that he was a sinner, but that his sin (in this case) was not the cause of his suffering. But as David discerned how to process his righteous suffering the Lord also was the greater righteous sufferer. In Christ he wants to hear our struggles … he took on humanity, in part, to relate to the suffering we endure. Christ wants us to be zealous for god’s glory … he was … resulting in the cleansing of the temple. Christ wants us to cry out for deliverance … he is a compassionate God whose ear listens intently to the prayers of his people. Christ wants us to follow his example and pray for forgiveness knowing that when God meters out justice, and he will, the opportunities for change are over. Christ wants to praise him for our deliverance from sin and from our deliverance from those who cause us harm. That allows us to encourage others to share in that praise. Life is full of struggles … some of them we cause ourselves. Some of them are part of the Christian life. Thankfully we have a series of truths to apply and the perfect Christ to follow.
