Isn’t it striking that the words of the
Psalmist and the prophet Isaiah are quoted as the words of Jesus? Jesus would
have said and sung the psalms in his earthly ministry. And Jesus is the
ultimate fulfilment of all the Scriptures with all its patterns and types
(pictures, fore-shadowings etc.). Jesus is the true and better David, the true
and better King, the Anointed One, the true and better Israel, the ultimate prophet
and Servant of the Lord.
It is also perhaps a surprising thought for us
to think of ourselves not only as Jesus’ brothers and sisters but also as his
children (v13). Let’s praise God again for drawing us into his family and making
us his sons and daughters and heirs by adoption and grace. Let’s thank God for
all our brothers and sisters and pray for them.
Thank God that Jesus delivers us from the
shame of sin.
Let us also pray that we might be unashamed of
Jesus and his gospel (Romans 1:16; Mark 8:38).
Song: The message of the cross is foolishness To those who are
perishing … I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ https://songsfromscripture.com/i-am-not-ashamed-of-the-gospel
