S3:226 Psalm 140 Nov 15, 2024

Show notes

In light of the cross, do we really want burning coals to fall on our enemies' heads? Today, Seth Master talks through Psalm 140 and how we think about justice and hope in light of the cross. Through four movements of the psalm, David shows the truth that despite evil and how it affects him, he expresses confidence in God's justice. Because of our sin, we were all enemies of God. The cross has made a way for those who have been made righteous in Christ to dwell in the presence of God.
