Summary
Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah, and his brothers and Judah, the father of Perez and Zeera by Tamar and Perez, the father of Hezran, and Hezran the father of Aaron, and Aaron the father of Amidadab, Amidadab the father of Nashon, and Nashon the father of Selman, and Selman the father of Boez by, well now who pops up? So that by the time we're done with this adult ed series, you will go out, and it's going to be a burden of love, because every time you hear law and gospel mixed up or confused or put together in a wrong way, you're going to figure out, okay, is this the appropriate time to say, stop it, because you're going to hear it everywhere, and it's going to drive you up the wall. 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. Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, and Judah the father of Perez and Zera by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezran, and Hezran the father of Aram, and Aram the father of Aminadab, and Aminadab the father of Nation, and Nation of the father of Salman, and Salman the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, and Jesse the father of King David. Remember Abraham was a moon worshipper here but this grace that comes to this one who is righteous, remember scripture says, because of faith, you see, righteous through faith, that grace and also that application of the law that shows all of us our sin in our need for repentance and then points the person right back to the cross of Jesus Christ where we know that our sin has been forgiven and heaven is open to us not based on our righteousness but because the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ.
