Reading poetry can be difficult. When that poetry alludes to future events, it can be even more vexing. Yet the New Testament quotes the Psalms more than any other Old Testament book. So we seek to understand how these poetic songs foreshadow the coming of Christ and fill us with hope amidst our struggles.
Questions:
- Do you see the limitations of viewing God’s Word as simply an example to imitate or a law to follow?
- Is Jesus in his sleeping (i.e. death) and his waking again (i.e. resurrection) your hope when feeling under attack?
- Is Jesus more precious to you today as the True and Better King?
