CHRIST IN THE PSALMS (5)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
0. Introduction
a) Both the Jewish and Christian faiths have long believed that many psalms referred as much to the promised Messiah as they did to events at the time. Because the Messiah was to be a descendant of David, it was expected that many of the royal psalms would apply to him. Christians noted how many of the passages seemed to describe in detail events from Christ's life and death. Jesus himself frequently quoted from Psalms. Almost everything that happened at the crucifixion and most of Jesus' words during his final hours are prophesied in Psalms.
b) Here are the main references in Psalms pertaining to Christ.
1. Reference in Psalms 69:21
@1. 21 They also gave me gall for my food, And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. (Psalms 69:21 NKJV)
a) Reference to Christ
@1. He was offered vinegar for his thirst on the cross.
b) Fulfillment in the New Testament
@1. 48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink. (Matthew 27:48 NKJV)
2. Reference in Psalms 89:3-4; 89
