Protection For The Perils Of Our Earthly Journey (Psalm 121:1-8)

Dr. Robert E. Gustafson, Jr., Unknown Date
Part of the Morning Worship at North Greenville Church series, preached at a Sunday Morning service

This second psalm of ascents sees the weary traveler volitionally going to Jerusalem, or the Heavenly City. He is sustained by his covenant-keeping Creator shepherd, keeping all of His sheep. All weariness, anxiety, doubt and trouble will melt away as the Savior greets the traveler at the gates of the heavenly kingdom. Our Shepherd will take us home.

Psalm 121 (Listen)

A Song of Ascents.

121:1   I lift up my eyes to the hills.
    From where does my help come?
2   My help comes from the LORD,
    who made heaven and earth.
3   He will not let your foot be moved;
    he who keeps you will not slumber.
4   Behold, he who keeps Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.
5   The LORD is your keeper;
    the LORD is your shade on your right hand.
6   The sun shall not strike you by day,
    nor the moon by night.
7   The LORD will keep you from all evil;
    he will keep your life.
8   The LORD will keep
    your going out and your coming in
    from this time forth and forevermore.

Why should we study Romans? This letter, Paul's magnum opus, instructs us on the most essential doctrines of the Christian faith. The book is expansive, containing the most words of Paul's epistles. It has been described as the key to understanding all scriptures. This book is vitally necessary to the life of the believer. John Chrysostom, an early church father, had Romans read to him every week. Luther and Augustine credited the book as instrumental in their salvation. Romans contains the lengthiest instruction of all Paul's letters. Paul had never been to the church in Rome. Paul preached unity. He introduced himself as a bondservant of Christ, subjugated to the lordship of Jesus. He preached sin as a destructive slavery and salvation as liberation with total devotion to the Savior. He affirmed his calling as an apostle, holding the office by Christ's choosing, even though he was a persecutor of the church and of Christ. He had become a minister of the Gospel. The meaning here is that no one is beyond the reach of God's power, Paul being the foremost of sinners. Who can God not save? No one! Paul testified to the church that he was set apart for the Gospel. He was God's chosen instrument from before the foundation of the universe. He received a direct visit from Jesus, and he taught not the word of man. Paul sought to draw all attention to Christ, Him and Him crucified. Earthly preachers in our time shouldn't dare to improve upon the Word given. Paul presents the Promise made in eternity past though the prophets of the Old Testament, God's word. All prophecy points to His Son encapsulated in the Gospel. His Son, the Messiah, is the powerful reigning Lord, confirmed by God through the power of the resurrection. He is able to save to the uttermost. Within the Gospel is the command to believe. Paul's benediction of grace and peace is for us also: grace or unmerited favor of God and peace through the walls of hostility between sinners and God torn down. ... See MoreSee Less

God gives glory to his church. We are all to have unity in Christ. Uniformity can, however, be destructive, as it was in the Middle Ages. True union in the church is supernatural. It. breaks down all other barriers. It breaks down human distinctions. Love brings together the purpose of the church. We are united to one another in love. Love marks the church. Isaiah in his call was told by God that the people that the people would not listen to the prophecy God gave him. Nevertheless, God promised that He would take care of them, as He did throughout the time of the judges. In the bigger picture, unity identifies us, as unity characterizes the Trinity. We are brought into communion with God and each other by means of a mystical, transcendent, all understanding, supernatural unity. Unity is also organic. It is the body of Christ, the family of God. By means of unity, we are joint heirs with Christ. Our body is the temple of God. In the new heaven, we will be fully united with God. Jesus prays that we will know the father. Unity takes place in the church and with Him. There is a lost focus in evangelism. Over the last two centuries, evangelism has focused on crusades and programs. Yet evangelism is not about us at all. The key is that the lost will see the union that we have with God and within the church. Verse 23 shows God's plan for evangelism. First is Trinitarian unity. Second is the body of Christ unity. Finally, all unity is to the glory of God. God wants to return his glory to us. We are to see the glory of God in us. ... See MoreSee Less
