Promised Messiah--Savior of the World--Psalms

David Singing-James Tissot

The Psalms are poetry originally sung to God like a hymnal from ancient Israel. David wrote many of the Psalms and are some of the world’s best inspirational, spiritual literature.


I love the way many psalms prophesy of Christ. After His resurrection Jesus declared, “All things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me” (Luke 24:44).

Psalm 107:23–30 goes with Matthew 8:23–27
 
Psalm 69:8 goes with John 1:11; 7:5

Psalm 41:9; 55:12–14 goes with John 13:18, 21 

Psalm 69:20 goes with Mark 14:32–41

These prophecies make it clear that Jesus was the promised Messiah, the Savior of the world. They helped people learn of the Savior, gain testimonies of him even before he was born, and recognize him when he came.

A testimony of Jesus Christ is a precious possession, more valuable than gold or lands. It can never be taken only relinquished.Gaining a testimony is worth every effort, every sacrifice. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. Not only did he atone for my sins, but He continues to minister to me spirit daily. He carries me in times of weakness, sickness, and loneliness. He loves me and wants me to come home. I want to stand as His witness at all times and in all things and in all places.
