As Jesus walked towards Jerusalem for the last time.
As Jesus walked towards Jerusalem for the last time.
As he walked towards what he knew would be his painful, shameful death,
As he considered the events to unfold.
Triumphant entry but that the Pharisees wanted to stop,
A temple full of greedy money makers,
A fig tree like Israel, that bore no fruit,
A friend would betray him to his death, with a kiss.
Friends would not even stay awake to pray for him as he cried to His father in the garden.
A closer friend would deny him 3 times, embarrassed to acknowledge him at all.
A city of men and women chanting for his death - ‘give us the terrorist Barabbas rather than Jesus’
Jesus, alone, rejected by everyone, scorned and mocked,
How he must have had to reach deep into his heart to trust the words of this Psalm
A close friend would betray him with
As he saw the mountains around the great city itself,

I expect this Psalm was used as a call of reassurance,
Someone would call out v1 and 2 and the whole worshipping community would respond with v3-8
3 this Psalm
But Jesus had no-one to respond to him, to minister to his needs,
And perhaps from lifting his eyes to hills, searching for reassurance from the Lord,
When we feel like that,
perhaps we can find peace in knowing Jesus has been were you find yourself.
Reject by everyone, removed of all worth,
And perhaps like Jesus, we just have to remember the response ourselves,
Perhpas from lifting eyes to the hill, we now close them
and trust that the Lord Jesus himself is promising you these verse from the Father’s side,
5
Betrayal, rejection even death may at the door,
but you are safe in the Father’s arms both now and for evermore.
He is watching over you - it’s repeated 6 times in these 8 verses.
