HH, Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div
“God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.” Acts 13:33
It is written in the Psalms concerning Jesus —
Concerning His divine majesty.
You are My Son, says God. So I may be sure that He has strength and wisdom and grace sufficient for the tremendous task of my redemption. He is the Father’s Equal and the Father’s Fellow. He is very God of very God.
Concerning His lowliness and suffering.
There are hints given beforehand of Gethsemane and Calvary and the Sepulcher; the Psalmists had glimpses into these mysterious wonders of anguish and love. I join them in thanking Him who died and was buried for me.
Concerning His rising again.
Today I have become your Father You, God says, speaking not of the everlasting conception of the Son but of His resurrection from the grave. And I rejoice in Him who has broken the captivity of death for Himself and for my helpless soul.
Concerning His eternal kingdom-hood.
The Holy One is not allowed to see corruption; He reigns through dateless and ageless years. And I, when I am united with Him, share His unending rule. I shall never perish, neither shall anyone pluck me from His hand!
Augustine wrote centuries ago — the New Testament lies hidden in the Old. And I am indebted to the Hebrew singers for many pictures of my Redeemer and Lord. Let me study them, rejoicing that since the Babe was born and the Saviour was crucified and the King was invested with the name which is above every name — I can read deeper meanings in their words than they were themselves able to do.
