Psalm 118 - Jesus Is Our Everything · Tabernacle Talk - A Bible Study Podcast with Pastor Bryon Self

• 0:00
  Welcome to Tabernacle Talk. Tabernacle Talk is a Bible study
• 0:03
  podcast brought from Tabernacle Baptist Church in Essex, MD.
• 0:07
  I'm your host, Brian Self. We hope this podcast encourages
• 0:10
  you to know Christ, grow in his word, and show his love to
• 0:14
  others. Let's dive right in.
• 0:15
  Welcome back to Tabernacle Talk, and this is our very last weekly
• 0:21
  episode that we have because starting this upcoming Monday,
• 0:26
  we are doing weekday episodes of Tabernacle Talk once again.
• 0:31
  So Monday through Friday, drop in on YouTube and on Spotify and
• 0:37
  Apple Podcasts at like 1:19 AM, and then on Facebook drop in at
• 0:43
  normally about 3:33 AM or so. We're going to be walking
• 0:48
  through Psalm 119 and the 22, if I recall correctly, sections of
• 0:55
  Psalm 119. And then we'll take it all the
• 0:57
  way from Psalm 1:20 to 1:50. So that'll get us through
• 1:01
  probably about 7 or 8 weeks in total.
• 1:05
  Actually, you know, if I'm adding in the Psalm 119 ones,
• 1:09
  that'll probably take us through about the next 10 weeks where
• 1:12
  every single weekday we will have a Tabernacle talk together.
• 1:16
  And so I'm really looking forward to that.
• 1:19
  But today I want to focus in because we got to give all the
• 1:24
  attention that is needed to Psalm 118.
• 1:26
  This is a really important Psalm.
• 1:28
  It has valuable things for our life and for the way that we
• 1:32
  think about God, even the way that we think about difficulties
• 1:35
  in our circumstances. And then, as always, because all
• 1:39
  of Scripture speaks to Jesus, but this Psalm in particular
• 1:43
  speaks really directly to some things about Jesus.
• 1:47
  And so we'll see that most of that is near the end of this
• 1:51
  Psalm. So let's dive right in.
• 1:52
  And I'm looking forward to this time together.
• 1:56
  I'm going to read through the Psalm and then we'll look at the
• 1:59
  different portions. There looks to be about 6 or 7
• 2:04
  different portions that are here at least as broken up by the
• 2:09
  Christian standard Bible. You can kind of see those
• 2:12
  parallels together, and so we'll look at those sections.
• 2:15
  Give thanks to Yahweh for He is good.
• 2:18
  His faithful love endures forever.
• 2:21
  Let Israel say His faithful love endures forever.
• 2:24
  Let the House of Aaron say his faithful love endures forever.
• 2:28
  Let those who fear Yahweh say His faithful love endures
• 2:32
  forever. I called to Yahweh in distress.
• 2:35
  Yahweh answered me and put me in a spacious place.
• 2:39
  Yahweh is for me. I will not be afraid.
• 2:42
  What can a mere mortal do to me? Yahweh is my helper.
• 2:46
  Therefore I will look in triumph on those who hate me.
• 2:51
  It's better to take refuge in Yahweh than to trust in
• 2:54
  humanity. It's better to take refuge in
• 2:57
  Yahweh than to trust in nobles. All the nations surrounded me.
• 3:02
  In the name of Yahweh, I destroyed them.
• 3:04
  They surrounded me. Yes, they surrounded me.
• 3:08
  In the name of Yahweh, I destroyed them.
• 3:10
  They surrounded me like bees. They were extinguished like a
• 3:14
  fire among thorns. In the name of Yahweh, I
• 3:18
  destroyed them. They pushed me hard to make me
• 3:21
  fall, but Yahweh helped me. Yahweh is my strength and my
• 3:26
  song. He has become my salvation.
• 3:30
  There are shouts of joy and victory in the tense of the
• 3:32
  righteous. You always right hand performs
• 3:35
  valiantly. You always right hand is raised.
• 3:38
  You always right hand performs valiantly.
• 3:41
  I will not die, but I will live and proclaim what Yahweh has
• 3:46
  done. Yahweh disciplined me severely
• 3:49
  but did not give me over to death.
• 3:52
  Open the gates of righteousness for me.
• 3:54
  I will enter through them and give thanks to Yahweh.
• 3:57
  This is Yahweh's gate. The righteous will enter through
• 4:00
  it. I will give thanks to you
• 4:02
  because you have answered me and I've become my salvation.
• 4:06
  The stone that the builders rejected has become the
• 4:09
  cornerstone. This came from Yahweh.
• 4:12
  It's wondrous in our sight. This is the day Yahweh has made.
• 4:17
  Let's rejoice and be glad in it. Yahweh save us.
• 4:22
  Yahweh, please grant us success. He who comes in the name of
• 4:27
  Yahweh is blessed. From the House of Yahweh we
• 4:31
  bless you. Yahweh is God and has given us
• 4:35
  light, buying the festival's sacrifice with cords to the
• 4:38
  horns of the altar. You are my God and I will give
• 4:42
  you thanks. You are my God.
• 4:44
  I will exalt you. Give thanks to Yahweh for He is
• 4:48
  good. His faithful love endures
• 4:51
  forever. Man, what a tremendous portion
• 4:56
  of Scripture. Let's look at the first of these
• 5:00
  7 sections first. In verses one through 4, we have
• 5:04
  all the people who are supposed to be saying that God's faithful
• 5:07
  love. His has said that steadfast
• 5:10
  covenant, loyal love endures forever.
• 5:14
  Well, it starts off with verse one saying give thanks to Yahweh
• 5:17
  for he is good and this goodness, this is tove.
• 5:23
  This is the tree of the knowledge of tove and raw of
• 5:28
  good and evil. God is the very definition of
• 5:32
  goodness. And so when he tells us
• 5:34
  something, when he tells us how to act, how to pray, what to
• 5:37
  believe, what not to do to others, we can trust Him and
• 5:41
  believe and follow his instructions because He is good.
• 5:45
  There is no goodness outside of God.
• 5:47
  And whatever God does is right. And so we can thank Him for that
• 5:52
  because there will never be a time when God does something
• 5:56
  that is cruel, demeaning, harmful towards others.
• 6:00
  Instead, we can believe in this faithful, good God.
• 6:04
  We have to give thanks to Him. The day that I'm recording this
• 6:07
  is right is the day after Thanksgiving.
• 6:10
  And I'm so thankful for the many blessings that God has given
• 6:13
  into my life. And so I can thank him because
• 6:15
  he is good and his faithful love endures forever.
• 6:18
  Verse #2 He says, let Israel say his faithful love endures
• 6:22
  forever. The Jewish people especially
• 6:25
  during this time period between the life of, well, at this point
• 6:30
  between the life of David and the life of Christ, they went
• 6:34
  through times of hardship where they had wanted away from God
• 6:37
  that there were consequences for their sinful actions.
• 6:40
  And yet God did not throw them away.
• 6:43
  He continued to love them. And even when he exiled them, he
• 6:46
  only exiled them, giving them the promise that they would
• 6:49
  return. And he gave the time period that
• 6:51
  they would return. And he even gave the time period
• 6:54
  while they were in exile of when the Messiah would come, of when
• 6:59
  they would find what they had truly been hoping for, that
• 7:03
  descendant of David. And so Israel can say his
• 7:06
  faithful love endures forever because they experienced God's
• 7:09
  grace and his commitment to them despite their failures and
• 7:13
  flaws. Verse #3 let the House of Aaron
• 7:17
  say his faithful love endures forever.
• 7:19
  These were the priests. And as you read through,
• 7:23
  honestly, the Old Testament, this was something that really
• 7:27
  kind of changed in my mind as I spent more time in the word of
• 7:30
  God, as I listen to like good solid Bible teachers.
• 7:34
  The Old Testament is almost never a picture of here are
• 7:40
  these great people who have all of their ducks in a row.
• 7:43
  They've got everything together. And so we should be more like
• 7:46
  them. We should be more like Abraham
• 7:48
  or Jacob or David, or here the House of Aaron.
• 7:51
  That is the lineage of the priests.
• 7:54
  The goal is not be like these people.
• 7:56
  Instead, over and over again we are shown here's what God sets
• 8:01
  up, and God wants to work with humanity like he wants to work
• 8:05
  with kings like Saul or David. He wants to work with priests
• 8:10
  like Aaron or like Eli. He wants to work with even the
• 8:14
  prophets like Elijah or Jonah. However, what we see time and
• 8:20
  time and time again is all of those human partners with God
• 8:25
  are flawed and they fail. And so we are not able to have
• 8:30
  the like dynamic partnership, friendship, relationship with
• 8:34
  God that He created us for because we keep blowing it.
• 8:38
  But what happens in the Bible story is Jesus comes along and
• 8:43
  he is the descendant of David and he becomes the king that
• 8:48
  will never fail us, that will never do what is wrong, that
• 8:50
  will never take advantage of us. And instead he gives his life in
• 8:55
  our place. So Jesus is the better king.
• 8:58
  Jesus is the better priest. Not according to the priesthood
• 9:02
  of Aaron's descendants, the Aaronic Priesthood, but instead
• 9:06
  he's a priest like Melchizedek who we learned about in Genesis
• 9:10
  that he he intercedes for the people it with God and he tells
• 9:18
  people what God's message and what God's way is.
• 9:22
  And he makes the sacrifice that is necessary for us.
• 9:27
  And he stands before the Father and shows his wounds and that he
• 9:32
  has paid the price in full. And there is no condemnation
• 9:34
  left to those who are in Christ Jesus.
• 9:37
  And what a wonderful truth of that is.
• 9:39
  So Jesus is the true and better and perfect king.
• 9:43
  He's the true, better and perfect priest, unlike even
• 9:47
  Aaron's sons. If you guys remember back when
• 9:49
  we were in Leviticus and the very first priest, the sons of
• 9:53
  the high priest, were killed within the first week of their
• 9:56
  service because of the evil that they had done.
• 9:59
  Or you can think back to the stories in For Samuel of Eli's
• 10:03
  sons that were so incredibly wicked that they were even
• 10:08
  committing sexual immorality with women inside of the
• 10:12
  Tabernacle. And there was just so much evil
• 10:16
  that constantly happened. You can even think of Aaron, who
• 10:19
  was supposed to be this high priest, but he was the one that
• 10:23
  when the people said, well, Moses has been gone too long.
• 10:26
  We need like something concrete that we can worship.
• 10:29
  He said, OK, well, give me your gold.
• 10:31
  And he fashions this. I can only imagine.
• 10:34
  It was incredibly crude, as in not very shapely or well done.
• 10:41
  Cow, the golden calf, that Aaron was the one that created it.
• 10:45
  And so here the House of Aaron can say that God's faithful love
• 10:50
  endures forever, that he didn't just wipe out the Aaronic
• 10:54
  priesthood for all of their evil that they had done or the ways
• 10:57
  in which they led Israel in false worship.
• 11:00
  You can read about that over and over again in Isaiah and
• 11:03
  Jeremiah and Ezekiel. I think even an Amos has a lot
• 11:07
  to say about that as well. And so the House of Aaron can
• 11:11
  say that God's faithful love endures forever.
• 11:13
  And then verse #4 let those who fear Yahweh say His faithful
• 11:17
  love endures forever, that those that recognize who God is, that
• 11:21
  He is great, He's vast, He is holy, He is just in all of His
• 11:25
  ways, but He is good and faithful and loving and has
• 11:29
  bonded Himself to us in covenant relationship through Jesus
• 11:33
  Christ. And so we can talk about the
• 11:35
  enduring, faithful love of God. OK, next section there, and I
• 11:40
  promise I'll go a little bit faster through the rest of these
• 11:42
  verses. 5 through 7. I called to Yahweh in distress.
• 11:45
  Yahweh answered me and put me in a spacious place.
• 11:49
  You always for me. I won't be afraid.
• 11:51
  What can a mere mortal do to me? Yahweh is my helper.
• 11:54
  Therefore I will look in triumph on those who hate me.
• 11:57
  Here this person was in distress and they called out to God and
• 12:02
  God answered them and He brought them to a point of safety.
• 12:06
  And frankly, as we read this right now, if you are watching
• 12:11
  this or listening to this, then I know that there have been
• 12:14
  times where you have been in a hard spot and God has brought
• 12:17
  you through. You are living.
• 12:20
  And so God has not allowed all of the evil in this world to
• 12:24
  overwhelm you and to even take your life because God has heard
• 12:29
  you. He's heard your cries, He's
• 12:31
  heard your prayers, and He has put you in a place where you are
• 12:34
  still living and breathing and able to learn from His Word and
• 12:38
  able to hear the sound of my voice.
• 12:40
  Or, or perhaps if you're someone that reads captions, you might
• 12:45
  not even be able to hear very well anymore, but you can read
• 12:48
  God has been good to you. And because God hears us,
• 12:52
  because he answers us, because he is verse 6, because he is for
• 12:56
  me, I will not be afraid if God has my if God has my best
• 13:06
  outcome at heart, then I don't have to be afraid of what can
• 13:12
  happen to me. I will tell you guys, I tend to
• 13:16
  be a very anxious person. I get scared, you know, I'm a
• 13:20
  pastor. I get scared about my church.
• 13:22
  I get scared about my for teaching.
• 13:24
  I get scared about, you know, the future of the church and and
• 13:28
  how will we see God do hear what he's doing in other places?
• 13:33
  How will we be able to, you know, meet our bills?
• 13:38
  How can we do this? And I forget that God is for me.
• 13:43
  I forget that the Lord of Heaven's armies is the one that
• 13:48
  is protecting me, that bled and died for me so that I could have
• 13:53
  a relationship with him. And yet I think that my life, my
• 13:57
  difficulties, my circumstances, my rough relationships, that
• 14:01
  that's something that I have to fix.
• 14:03
  That's something that is in my realm of responsibility, or it's
• 14:08
  in my ability to be able to do something about that.
• 14:12
  No, God is for me. And if God is for me, as Paul
• 14:16
  would tell us in Romans 8, who can be against me?
• 14:20
  Or here as the psalmist says, what can a mere mortal do to me?
• 14:24
  Verse #7 says the Lord is my helper.
• 14:27
  This is the, the Hebrew word ezer.
• 14:30
  This is the same word that is used of when God brings, he says
• 14:35
  it's not good for man to be alone.
• 14:36
  I will make an ezer suitable for this man.
• 14:41
  And so God is the one, He's the helper.
• 14:43
  He's like the spouse, the the best possible spouse that is
• 14:47
  always there for you, that can help you see the blind spots,
• 14:50
  that is there to lift you up when you can't walk.
• 14:55
  I'm so grateful for for my spouse for Samantha, and she's
• 15:00
  incredible in so many ways, but God far surpasses what any human
• 15:05
  could ever help me with. And so if God is my helper,
• 15:08
  therefore I can look in triumph on those who hate me.
• 15:11
  Now here, this would likely have been about physical enemies, you
• 15:17
  know, a rival clan, tribe nation that wanted to destroy even as
• 15:22
  we would read in verses kind of 10 through 18.
• 15:26
  But I think those who hate me, there might be humans that hate
• 15:31
  me. I'm sure there are.
• 15:33
  I can be a hateable person from time to time.
• 15:36
  I don't seek that out. But I I know in my fallenness
• 15:39
  that I'm imperfect. And so there could be those that
• 15:41
  physically hate me, but frankly, no human hate compares to the
• 15:46
  way that Satan and his demons hate me because I am a blood
• 15:51
  bot. I am a cleansed, I am a beloved,
• 15:55
  I am an adopted child of God. I am one with Christ.
• 15:59
  So that's no longer me who even really lives.
• 16:03
  Instead, Christ lives through my life and this life that I'm now
• 16:07
  living in in human flesh. I live because of my faith in
• 16:12
  the Son of God who loves and who gave himself for me.
• 16:16
  And so I can look in triumph over Satan and know that he is
• 16:19
  defeated. I can look in triumph over the
• 16:21
  demons who want to destroy my life.
• 16:23
  That I would be alienated from others, That I would experience
• 16:28
  no love or forgiveness or grace. I can look in triumph over them
• 16:32
  because they are defeated by the cross of Christ, by the
• 16:35
  indwelling Holy Spirit, and by the Lamb who sits on the throne,
• 16:40
  and by my God who planned it all and who accomplished my
• 16:43
  redemption. Because I have the Lord as my
• 16:46
  helper, I will look in triumph on those who hate me.
• 16:50
  Verses 8:00 and 9:00 It's better to take refuge in Yahweh than to
• 16:54
  trust in humanity. Don't trust in people.
• 16:56
  Verse #9 It's better to take refuge in Yahweh than to trust
• 16:59
  in nobles. Don't believe that your
• 17:02
  government will be able to set right the things that are wrong.
• 17:07
  Now they can punish evildoers. Do they always do that?
• 17:10
  No, sometimes the government are the evildoers.
• 17:14
  So don't put your trust in Donald Trump.
• 17:17
  Don't put your trust in Nancy Pelosi.
• 17:19
  Don't put your trust in, you know, Zoran Mahmdani's really
• 17:23
  big right now. Don't put your trust in.
• 17:25
  I actually think Prime Minister, I think it's Prime Minister
• 17:28
  Trudeau up in Canada, like he's finishing out his term, whoever
• 17:31
  his replacement will be. Don't put your trust in those
• 17:34
  people. They will not be able to rescue
• 17:39
  you in the way that God can. They cannot provide for your
• 17:42
  needs in the way that God can. And when we think my life, my
• 17:47
  happiness, my ability to be able to have a good life is resultant
• 17:52
  on some politician rather than on God, I've created an idol out
• 17:58
  of this person. And so trust God, you're the
• 18:02
  one. And you guide the hearts of
• 18:04
  kings and senators and Congress people and mayors, and you guide
• 18:09
  all of that. And so I'm just going to be
• 18:11
  faithful whatever is asked of me.
• 18:13
  Yeah, I'll, I'll perhaps vote for some people, vote for some
• 18:17
  policies that I believe are in line with what Scripture
• 18:20
  teaches, but then I'm not going to obsess about it.
• 18:23
  I'm going to do my part. And then I'm going to just rest
• 18:27
  on the Lord. And I'm going to say, God, you
• 18:29
  do whatever. I'm not putting my trust in some
• 18:31
  person to be able to give me, if you will, the good life.
• 18:36
  Instead, I'm going to rely on the Lord for the blessed life.
• 18:40
  Verses 10 through 18, Then there's this count of this
• 18:46
  battle against the psalmist, the nation surrounding him, but God
• 18:50
  allowing him to defeat them. I think of the stories of the
• 18:54
  judges where you have people that were massively outnumbered.
• 18:57
  You have Gideon and his 300 men versus the, I think it was like
• 19:01
  10,000 Midianites or whatever that number was there.
• 19:06
  That victory is not found in what we can see, what we can
• 19:11
  determine by numbers or math or calculations.
• 19:15
  Instead, victory belongs to the Lord.
• 19:18
  And so I want to ask you, are you fighting spiritual battles
• 19:22
  in your own strength or in the strength of the Lord?
• 19:25
  Are you trying to write some relationships just by arguing
• 19:29
  You're a in by, you know, giving gifts, if you will, bribes,
• 19:34
  trying to get back into that relationship or trying to make
• 19:37
  the other person see how wrong they are?
• 19:40
  And are you trying to do it that way, or are you going to the
• 19:44
  Lord who can change hearts, who can change circumstances, who
• 19:47
  can change minds? Are you relying on the Lord or
• 19:50
  are you relying on the way that you can finagle circumstances
• 19:54
  with your finances? Are you just trusting and OK,
• 19:57
  well, if I put this into the four O 1K, if I just work these,
• 20:01
  you know, number of more hours, you know, it doesn't matter if I
• 20:06
  am not spending time with with my church family.
• 20:10
  It doesn't matter if I'm spending time with my family.
• 20:14
  I think I'm in this financial bind right now.
• 20:16
  And so I'm just going to rely on me versus I'm going to rely on
• 20:21
  the Lord. And I don't know how it'll, I
• 20:23
  don't know how this will come to pass, but I'm going to do what
• 20:26
  God has told me to. And then I'm going to trust that
• 20:29
  God will provide the rest. And maybe I'm living outside of
• 20:32
  my means right now. Maybe I am not accomplishing
• 20:37
  what God wants me to with my money and so God wants to,
• 20:42
  through this hardship, make me realize, OK, well, I've been
• 20:45
  spending too much on that. I don't really need that.
• 20:48
  I need to be focusing on this. God might be using all the
• 20:51
  circumstances to help you. Are you fighting in God's name
• 20:55
  and God's authority for what God wants?
• 20:57
  Or are you just relying on human ingenuity and ways?
• 21:02
  I'm going to because I'm already way past the time that I wanted
• 21:06
  to be. For this.
• 21:07
  I'm going to look real quick at the ending. 2 portions of the
• 21:11
  chapter versus 19 through 29. It should automatically make us
• 21:17
  think of Jesus entry, that triumphal entry into Jerusalem
• 21:24
  that week of his death. And he rode in through the gates
• 21:29
  of Jerusalem. Verse 19, Open the gates of
• 21:31
  righteousness for me. I'll enter through them and give
• 21:33
  thanks to Yahweh. This is Yahweh's gate.
• 21:35
  The righteous will enter through it.
• 21:37
  Jesus the only truly righteous 1 entering into the gates of
• 21:41
  Jerusalem and man, it was his gate, it belonged to him.
• 21:47
  It's his holy city, it's his holy people, and yet they were
• 21:50
  the ones that killed him. Verse 21 I'll give thanks to you
• 21:54
  because you've answered me and have become my salvation.
• 21:58
  I think of Christ's prayer in the garden.
• 22:01
  If it is your will, let this cup pass from me.
• 22:05
  Nevertheless, not my will, but your will be done that because
• 22:10
  God did not answer Jesus's prayer request with a yes that I
• 22:14
  have salvation as a result of God.
• 22:17
  If you will not answering Jesus verse 22, the stone that the
• 22:22
  builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
• 22:24
  That is the cornerstone is the thing that is the most
• 22:26
  important. If you Will Rock that is there
• 22:30
  the cornerstone determines where the house is going to be built,
• 22:34
  what direction it goes. It determines everything else,
• 22:37
  and here, this stone that the builders rejected, it was the
• 22:40
  Jewish people and the Roman people and even Jesus's
• 22:44
  disciples as they abandoned Him. They rejected him, but He became
• 22:50
  the marker for what a relationship with God would
• 22:54
  entail, how it would be purchased.
• 22:56
  Everything is determined by Jesus.
• 22:59
  He is the cornerstone, the deciding factor in our life.
• 23:03
  Verse 23, This came from Yahweh. It's wondrous in our sight.
• 23:06
  This is the day Yahweh has made. Let's rejoice and be glad in it.
• 23:12
  Are you thankful for the cross of Jesus?
• 23:13
  Are you thankful for even as we approach, you know, the
• 23:17
  Christmas season and Jesus coming to earth, Are you
• 23:19
  thankful for that day that Jesus came and was born and placed in
• 23:23
  a Manger in Bethlehem? Are you thankful for that?
• 23:27
  Are you thankful for the day of resurrection when Jesus rose,
• 23:30
  triumphant over sin, death, grave, Satan and the devils, and
• 23:36
  everything else that exists? Are you thankful for that day?
• 23:38
  Are you glad in it? And realize, no matter whether
• 23:42
  it's the calendar day that Jesus rose or whether it is any other
• 23:46
  day, Jesus is just as risen. You are just as free, you're
• 23:50
  just as beloved. And so you can rejoice in any
• 23:54
  day that the Lord has made. I'll throw this in there as
• 23:58
  well, just because if you're still here after 23 minutes,
• 24:01
  good on you and I can say what I want.
• 24:06
  I am very hesitant to ever attribute any particular day
• 24:12
  that it belongs to anyone else than the Lord.
• 24:16
  God is the one that made all of our days.
• 24:19
  God is the one that makes each day by day.
• 24:22
  And so there's no day that is like, OK, well, this is, you
• 24:26
  know, Satan's birthday, or this is someday that is owned by the
• 24:31
  occult or someday that is owned by this religion or that
• 24:37
  religion. And so you should be really
• 24:39
  scared of this. And this is a day when, you
• 24:41
  know, the barrier between the spiritual realm and the earthly
• 24:45
  realm is really thin. And so you have to be super
• 24:48
  careful otherwise you will accidentally become, you know,
• 24:51
  demon possessed on this day. No, absolutely not.
• 24:55
  God is the one that has made each and every day.
• 24:57
  They belong exclusively to him. If you want to regard a
• 25:01
  particular day for a holiday, wonderful cautions 2 and Romans
• 25:05
  14 tell you you're absolutely great to do that.
• 25:07
  Don't judge anyone that does not esteem that day, but also
• 25:11
  realize that every day is created by the Lord.
• 25:14
  Every day belongs to him is to be used for his worship and His
• 25:17
  work. Verse 25 Yahweh save us.
• 25:21
  That is hosanna, Hosanna, Yahweh, please grant us success.
• 25:26
  Verse 26 He who comes in the name of Yahweh is blessed from
• 25:30
  the House of Yahweh. We bless you.
• 25:32
  And you can think to that triumphal entry where they said
• 25:34
  Hosanna to the Son of David, and though they cried out for him to
• 25:39
  save them, within just a few days the citizens of Jerusalem
• 25:43
  would say, crucify him, crucify him.
• 25:46
  And they did not know that both of those pleas work together,
• 25:50
  that it was through the crucifixion of Christ that he
• 25:53
  would save them, that it was through his death that he would
• 25:57
  bring them life. And I'm so thankful that despite
• 26:00
  the fact that he was killed, Jesus is forever blessed.
• 26:05
  He is the ultimately happy and joyful one because he has
• 26:08
  accomplished the mission that the Father sent him to
• 26:11
  accomplish. And he is pleased and he is
• 26:14
  blessed and he is joy filled as a result of his relationship
• 26:18
  with you. Verse 27, you always God and has
• 26:21
  given us light buying the festival's sacrifice with cords
• 26:24
  to the horns of the altar thing of Jesus being both with nails
• 26:29
  and then likely as well with cords tied to the cross.
• 26:33
  So what's our response to this? Verses 28 and 29, you're my God.
• 26:37
  I will give you thanks. You're my God, I will exalt you.
• 26:40
  I'll lift you up. I'll talk about you to others.
• 26:43
  I will mention how incredible you are.
• 26:45
  The things that you've done for me, the things that you've done
• 26:48
  on Calvary, the things you've done for others, I will exalt
• 26:51
  you. Verse 29, give thanks to Yahweh
• 26:53
  for he is good. His faithful love endures
• 26:56
  forever. Well, I have loved getting to go
• 27:00
  through, I think Psalm one O 7 to 118.
• 27:03
  So I think it's been about 11 or 12 episodes that we've done
• 27:06
  weekly. And beginning Monday, we're
• 27:09
  going to go back to our weekday Tabernacle talks.
• 27:13
  And I hope that you're looking forward to that.
• 27:15
  Psalm 119 will be next time. And I believe it begins with
• 27:21
  each of the individual verses within the first section of
• 27:24
  Psalm 119 begin with the Hebrew letter Aleph.
• 27:28
  And so it's 8 verses. And so we'll look at that next
• 27:31
  time. Thanks for tuning in.
• 27:32
  Have a wonderful day.
