This Sunday at Hope we begin a summer sermon series on the 10 commandments. I'm so eager to be blessed by these commandments with you! But this first Sunday, we won't even begin with one of the commandments. We'll begin with Psalm 1.
The psalmist teaches us about life, making it all very simple. He's almost like the Mandalorian. Remember that show? Mando wouldn't take off his helmet- remember why? Because this is the way. That's what the psalmist says too. This is the way. This is the way to live.
The psalmist says that to us too. This is the way to live. And when you do, he says, you will be blessed, happy, strong, like a tree planted beside streams of water, bearing fruit in season! The only problem is that we don't follow the way. We're all over the map. Has anyone ever been perfect?
Only one has been perfect. Only one blessed man has ever lived. He never walked in the way of the wicked, never sat in sin with them, loved God’s word. How did he end up being punished like a wicked man? He ends up cursed on the cross. Why? To take our punishment. To be rejected and to take the judgment in our place. Why did he to it? To make us blessed. We are the righteous now in his blood. We are the righteous by faith in him.
Here's what the psalmist says, and here's what we're going to do in this sermon series: take your roots and sink them down into that word from God. It is not just a stream of water. It's like Jesus said- it’s streams of water welling up in you to eternal life. See what I’m saying? This is the way. Don’t lose it.
