S7E39: Prayer for Salvation (A Journey Through Lent pt. 7)

Sermon #218

Our journey through Lent and the Psalms brings us to this prophetic Psalm that looks forward to the coming of the Messiah who would deliver God's people. In the center of the Christian Bible, and s andwiched between the shortest and the longest chapters in the entire Bible is this beautiful song of praise, a prayer for deliverance from trouble. When we come to Palm Sunday we find that the people used these words - "Save us now!" (Hosanna), and that is what Jesus came to do, but it wasn't to save the Jews from Roman oppression, it was to save the world from slavery to sin and death.
