Psalm
16 – The Resurrection of the Messiah
This
Psalm reveals the wonderful voice of Jesus Christ when He said He had come to
do the Father’s will and had committed Himself completely to the Father. John
5:30.
We
have a heavenly Father who made us in His image, and He likes us to come to Him
and tell Him, “You are my Lord.” He is
the Lord to His saints on the earth – the privilege does not extend to everybody as “Their sorrows
shall be multiplied that hasten after another god. It means they hasten after
another whom they think is God.
The
Lord came to earth and took His place, walking in a world of sin and sorrow. He
was a perfect stranger down here. He
rejoiced in Jehovah. There was peace and joy in His life.
My
portion is what belongs to me- whether I enjoy it – it’s mine. My cup is what I
appropriate and make my own.
“These
things have I spoken to you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your
might be full.” John 15:11
Simon
Peter said that Psalm 16 refers to the resurrection of Christ and Peter also
said, “This Jesus has God raised up, whereof we are all witnesses. Therefore,
being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the
promise of the Holy Christ, and has shed forth this, which you now see and
hear. For David is not ascended into the heavens; but he said himself, the Lord
said unto my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your
footstool. Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God had
made the same Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ” Acts 2:32-36.
Paul also said this in Acts 13:35-37. Paul also said it was the psalm of Jesus’
resurrection.
He
died there upon the cross, knowing that God would raise Him from the dead.
