Jesus and the Psalms

Prepared for Monday Psalms, August 30, 2021

Video for Session 8 of Truthful Speech for Common Prayer: Jesus and the Psalms.

Our Savior the Lord Jesus Christ was the perfect worshiper of God and lover of people, the most authentic and genuine human who has ever lived. He knew and prayed the Psalms, even with his dying breath. He models the Psalms’ transformative power and use in an open, submitted human heart. He died for our sins and our wounds so that his heart and all of our hearts, his brothers and sisters (That’s us!), can be one in him.
