A reason to rejoice

Do not trust in nobles,
in a son of man, who cannot save. (Psalm 146:3)

Reading that as Christians, that second line is really striking, isn’t it?

Do not trust in a son of man, who cannot save.

Yet as Christians, we do trust in a Son of Man to save. We trust in Jesus.

Why?

Because he is not just a Son of Man.

Rather, Jesus was “appointed to be the powerful Son of God according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection of the dead.” (Romans 1:4)

So unlike mere men whose plans die when they do (4), Jesus rose and lives forever.

While he was on earth, he gave food to the hungry, gave sight to the blind, and raised those who were oppressed.

Now because of the cross and his resurrection, all we spiritual prisoners have been set free.

And the day will come when he will bring justice to this earth, reigning forever in righteousness.  

That’s a reason to worship, don’t you think?

Hallelujah!
My soul, praise the Lord.

I will praise the Lord all my life;
I will sing to my God as long as I live. (1-2)
