Listen "A Steadfast Guardian"
Episode Synopsis
Text: Psalm 121
This sermon examines Psalm 121. It is a promise that God will be your helper and defender into eternity. One of the most notable features is that the Psalmist uses the word "keep" six times. Keep is an interesting way to translate this word, and it dates back at least to 1535 and the publication of the Coverdale Bible. But keep is an incomplete understanding of what the Psalmist is saying; he is saying that the Lord is our constant guardian, persistent and active.
As we think about how this Psalm relates to Christ and points to him, his person, and his work, perhaps the most obvious way is how in the totality of his humanity Jesus was fully dependent upon God-the-Father's protection. He did this perfectly, fully away that the LORD shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in, from this time forth for evermore.
Psalm 121 reminds us that in season and out of season, no matter where we go, the Lord is our protector, our steadfast guardian.
