Psalm: 119:49-72 Meditation: JohnWhat are the 4 testimonies mentioned in this passage? In this discourse there is an implied query by Jesus to His opposition. Why don’t you understand who I am?

Psalm: 117 Meditation: JohnThis passage is a contrast of 3 views of Jesus during His ministry. The pivotal question of all time was answered by Jesus Himself in Samaria and here again.

Psalm: 148 Meditation: JohnTwo things stand out immediately as you read this passage: 1st: How can anyone or any other religion state that Jesus never claimed to be the Messiah and the Son of God? 2nd: How could the disciples that had been with Jesus since His ministry started still be oblivious and challenge Jesus? …

Psalm: 138 Meditation: JerHow badly can the human leadership mess up? Even God’s own people need God to step in time and time again.

Psalm: 45 Meditation: IsaWhat would you do if suddenly you were in the presence of true righteousness? Would you be in dread and instantly convicted of your own unrighteousness?

Psalm: 1 Meditation: MattHow keenly aware of the Messianic prophecies was Matthew? How about the people of Jerusalem? Here the description of the donkey’s colt and the people’s response to the procession show how important these prophecies were to first century Jews.

Psalm: 101 Meditation: MattLike many religions today, the first century Jews had many different views on the Messiah. Here Jesus disturbs the disciples by prophesying his own future.  To those that were looking for a conquering warrior, this portrait  might have been too great a shock.
