Jesus - immersed in the tradition of the Old Testament
This is a Pilgrim Song
On his way to Jerusalem for the last time.....this song would have been popular in his mind.
Language of the Psalm
Simplicity
Conversational
Rooted in Creation
God is never Far Away
"Past, Present, Future"
God Alone can save us
Main messages:
"In every kind of danger, God keeps us from evil and guards our soul."
The relationship between God and each person is personal.
This Psalm guides us into the essence of this Holy Week.
Psalm 121
A song of ascents. 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills— where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
