Psalm
20 – Plea for the Success of the Messiah
He
saved Jacob by His grace. God knew Jacob
made mistakes, but He was never ashamed to be called the God of Jacob. Jesus,
in the days of his flesh, offered up His prayers and tears and finally His
body. Christ is probably the only One
whom the Father always hears and always answers. Christ is for Israel. He is
Savior, and we pray in the name of Jesus.
Psalm
21- The Ascension of Christ
Joy
in the Salvation of our Lord. Even though David is speaking of his personal
experiences here. It can also be interpreted of Jesus Christ. It speaks of the
Lord having joy in bringing salvation to us. He rejoices in the power and the
strength that has been bestowed upon Him. He has gone to heaven and the angels
are now made subject to Him. It is through Him that we are saved. God honored
Jesus’ request by allowing Him to ascend into heaven. His prayer then and still
is, “that all who was given to Jesus, when He was on earth and those after Him
will be where he is and they can behold His glory, which God has given Hmi
before the earth was even created.” John 17:24. This prayer will be answered
when we leave earth and join Him in heaven. Jesus asked God if He could live
forever and ever, and Christ rose from the grave and ascended into heaven to
live in His glorified body forever. He is now at God’s right hand. His glory is
greater every time one of us gives our lives to Him and comes home to dwell
with him in heaven.
If
a person does not believe in Hell, he will not live a godly life and when he
dies he will find out the truth and his judgment will be to spend eternity
there.
Jesus
came to earth, lived with sorrow and grief all around him, he died a cruel
death, but he rose again and is now filled with joy. He wants us to have the
same joy. Then he speaks of those who are troubled, he tells them to rest with
us because the Lord will come from heaven with His mighty angels, and in
flaming fire He will take vengeance on them that does not know God and that
does not obey the gospel of Jesus Christ. He will bring judgment upon His
enemies.
