"Our All in All"

"They shall come, and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done this." (Psalms 22:31) As with many of the Psalms, the final verse is one that summarizes the message that was meant to be put forth; here we have the last verse, but where is that summary? Not seeing it? or can you see the power of what is being said within these few words? First of all; as we reconsider the introduction to this Psalm, of which David prescribed that this be played to the melody of "Aijeleth Shahar"; which we determined was a "new dawn" played out in a melody; such as would be "in calamity there is hope, for the end of a dark night is the dawn". The general idea of what David is saying, is one of Truth that produces Hope; that in knowing the Truth of what He has done for us, we have Hope in every generation and in every new day; in every cycle of life, there is Hope that what He has done for us is enough to wipe away all the darkness. This is really what it is all about! I am a sinner that has been saved by grace; and no matter how hard that I might try to change my own condition, I have no power over my sinful nature; I am a sinner that has been pardoned, and has been given righteousness that is based upon the righteousness of Jesus Christ, not of my own, for in me there is no righteousness; and any righteousness that I possess is not my own, but His that dwells within me. All the generations of the earth need to know this Truth! It must be told to them what the LORD has done, and how there is Hope for their broken state and for their sinful life. When it comes to our approach to God, we should feel dirty; but when it comes to what Jesus has done for us, we have the ability to stand in God's presence and to not be ashamed, because Jesus has made us pure before the Father. There is no other way to look upon that which we have been given, because whether you are the most vile sinner or the closet thing to a saint, we all have the same broken condition that is in need of a Saviour; we all have fallen short, and require salvation from sin; and we all must declare that it is His doing that makes us right, and that it is nothing of our own. This is our message to every generation; this is our story that must be told; that in the Name of Jesus there is hope unto every generation and in every life that is born upon the face of this earth; there is none that can outdo His grace, or can sin more than His grace will repair; His grace is sufficient for ALL... Oh, "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: and hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all." (Ephesians 1:17-23)
