Jesus and Psalm 118
From Series: "The Prayers Jesus Prayed G"
The Prayers Jesus Prayed
A message from the series "The Prayers Jesus Prayed G." The description of 'The Meeting Place' in Exodus is a powerful picture of the essence of prayer. Each time the Isralites set up camp they erected a special tent - beyond the camp - where people could go to pray. Moses used this. Joshua, Son of Nun, the future leader of Israel, spent all his time here - a wonderful place for his training to take place! Ultmately, all of Israel was invited to use this tent. In many ways this is a picture of the purpose of the Psalms - to teach and train us to be a people of prayer. Psalm 27 invites us to 'wait' on the Lord. Matthew 6:5-13 sees Jesus teaching on prayer - especially on finding an 'inner room' - which is not so far from Moses' 'Tent of Meeting'. Psalm 27/Exodus 33:7-11

CloseAs we lead up to Easter we will begin to consider some of the Psalms that Jesus prays or cites in the gospels. Matthew 118 is one of these (see Matthew 21:42). The image of the 'stone the builders rejected' is a powerful one for Jesus to use as he appraoahes the cross and answers the Pharisees. In many ways Psalm 118 is a prayer of thanks, praise, and blessing. In Jesus hands it becomes a warning to the religious leaders that they are missing the activity of God in Jesus. Psalm 118/Matthew 21
