Rev. David Andrus, pastor of Abiding Savior Lutheran Church in St. Louis and Not-Alone.net Ministries, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Psalm 118.

“Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good.” “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” “This is the day that the LORD has made.” Psalm 118 feels like a Bible verse hall of fame! These verses are so well known because they were memorized as the finale of Psalms 113 through 118 sung during Passover.

Israel escaped Egypt, David won countless victories, Israel returned from Babylon, and the church survived when Rome destroyed Jerusalem. God faithfully saves His people amidst chaos, most clearly seen in Jesus Christ on Easter, who fulfilled “I shall not die, but I shall live.” Christ is our Passover and our Temple, resisted and rejected by man, but vindicated by God. In baptism, we are always connected as living stones, shining in the light of the eternal eighth day.
