Summary
It's not just being a good person and doing good things for others it's it's actually about accepting the Lord Jesus Christ into their into their world and actually considering the Lord Jesus as their savior. We just talked to them about options and then we talked to them very openly about the gospel and that is amazing how many people because I didn't think I would be the type who would be equipped but of course God did equip me to be able to talk openly about the gospel it's a very smooth conversation and sometimes you get somebody's very anti Christianity for whatever reason but often you can have a very good conversation and then as we we hear from our pastors here living word we're just here to plant the seed. So, we're going to, we're going to actually, before we look at the Doxology, we're going to back up just a little bit and look at that promise in beginning in verse 49, where he says, Lord, where is your steadfast love of old, which by your faithfulness you swore to David. So, no, it's just very, very cool, and it's incredible that that the end of this, you know, with the whole book of songs were brought through the story of Scripture, were brought through the the the rich, rich story of God's word for his people of God's doing for his people, and it's so beautiful that that the end, it's just this five Psalms filled with, let's praise the Lord for who he is. Jesus Christ laid himself as the sacrificial lamb upon the altar before the Lord, the altar that was the cross of Calvary, where he hung dying for your sins, for my sin to take the stench of our sin, and remove it from us, and instead lay before the altar of the Lord himself, the sacrificial lamb, the aroma that is pleasing to the Lord, to be there eternally in our place, eternally lifting the aroma of sacrifice before the Lord, in his death, Christ conquered death, and in conquering death, he has the eternal victory over sin. And a lot of times when we're going about our daily lives, trying to live as good Christian people, we try to listen to the Lord and listen for direction from the Lord and it can really feel like one of those trust games where we are blindfolded, not really necessarily knowing where we're being led if there's actually something that we're supposed to climb over or if our friends are having a joke on our half, on our at our expense.
