DAD'S RAMBLINGS -- A WONDERFUL SAVIOR

DAD'S RAMBLINGS – A WONDERFUL SAVIOR

"The Lord sets the prisoners free. The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; The LORD raises those who are bowed down; The LORD loves the righteous." (Psalm 146:7c-8)

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." (Psalm 147:3)

In these Messianic psalms, the psalmist was looking forward to the coming of the promised Messiah who would open the eyes of the blind, raise up those who were bowed down, heal hearts that were wounded and broken by sin, and sets free those who are prisoners of sin.

At the beginning of the His ministry, the Lord Jesus came to the synagogue and was asked to read the Scripture portion for that day. The scroll was opened by the providence of God to the reading for that day to the prophet Isaiah where Jesus read, " 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to bind up those who are bruised, to give sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are captive...' " (Luke 4:18;  Isaiah 61:1-2). 

Jesus was the fulfillment of God's promise to send a Savior.

We have a Savior who has opened our eyes to the wonderful Gospel, who has healed our broken or humble hearts, raised us up and freed us from the bondage of sin, bound up the wounds that were inflicted by sin, and has given us His righteousness.

What a wonderful Savior we have! We have much to praise the Lord for.

Love, Dad
