Context Matters

Yesterday I talked about how people believe Jesus lost hope when He said, “My God My God why have You forsaken Me.” However, this is not Him losing hope, but rather this is Him quoting Psalm 22. 

Notice how Psalm 22 ends. There is much hope for the believer in this Psalm. As you read the Bible, be careful not to put your present day culture and ideologies on the meanings shared. That’s how we take the Bible out of context. Once we start doing that, our understanding of who God is can spiral out of control. Seek His understanding, always. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Psalm 22:27-28

27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, 28 for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations.
