HIS RICHEST CONSOLATION
“But I am a worm and
not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people.” Psalm 22:6
“It is a matter of a short time.
Life is brief & wretched, but the joy & glory we await is eternal.
Since, therefore, it pleases God that we should be a little flock,
insignificant & despised, let us bear the troubles of this life with a calm
and joyful heart.” Martin Luther Psalm by Psalm, Concordia
Publishing House, 2017.
Listen to Psalm 22 and you can hear Jesus' moans under the weight of mankind's sins that have now been lifted from our shoulders. Let's read the Old Testament in the light of what Jesus had to endure and what he did for us.
