How Say Ye To My Soul, Flee As A Bird? Psalm 11:1-4
Contributed by David Tack on Mar 25, 2024 (message contributor)
Summary: This morning, as we approach Easter, I would like to focus on our Lord Jesus Christ as he, like David, is experiencing much agony while facing a very destructive and lonely path known to be The Passion of Christ.
had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to
crucify him.
2. SECOND, JESUS IS CRUCIFIED. Satan’s arrow of deception [Matthew 27:33- 44; Mark 15:22-32; Luke
23: 33-43]. Here, Satan attempted to replace the foundation of Life with Death.
SONG 4: Crucify Him by Charlie Daniels [1.56]. SONG 5: Via Dolorosa by Sandi Patty [4:36].
• The Death on the cross (Matthew 27:45-56; Mark 15:33-41; Luke 23:44-49) [Satan tried to replace
the FOUNDATION of HOPE with HOPELESSNESS]
o James, Fausset and Brown commenting on Psalms 22: 15-16, referring to Gethsemane Account: “Utter
exhaustion and hopeless weakness, in these circumstances of pressing danger, are set forth by the
most expressive figures; the solidity of the body is destroyed, and it becomes like water; the
bones are parted; the heart, the very seat of vitality, melts like wax; all the juices of the
system are dried up; the tongue can no longer perform its office, but lies parched and stiffened.”
(Jamieson, Robert. A.R Fausset and David Brown Book of Psalms 22:14-15. n.d. e-Sword, Version).
3. THIRD, JESUS IS BURIED (Matthew 27:57-61; Mark 15:42-47; Luke 23:50-
56) [Satan attempted to replace the FOUNDATION of being with non-being] VIDEO 6: The Empty Tomb
[2:40]
BACK TO DAVID’S PSALM FOR A MOMENT
• Psalm 11:4: The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his
eyelids try, the children of men.
• THE GOOD NEWS… GOD’S HAD A DESIGNED REMEDY FOR THIS
HORRIFFIC SCENE (A PICTURE OF TRIUMPH). Notice where his throne is! In Heaven!!
o JESUS resurrects from the dead: WHY, He is God! BECAUSE: The LORD is in his holy temple, the
LORD's throne is in heaven
o There is now an empty tomb (Matthew 28:1-10; Mark 16: 1-8; Luke 24: 1-12) … WHY? BECAUSE [The
LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven]
o We have eyewitness accounts of a risen Lord…. WHY? BECAUSE [The LORD is in his holy temple, the
LORD's throne is in heaven
? Road to Emmaus ) [his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men].
? The disciples (Luke 24:36-49) [his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of
men].
• SONG 7: I’ll Rise Again by Dallas Holm [4:25].
CONC:
“Satan appeared to win the battle at the Cross, but after three days passed, the LORD's resurrection changed everything. Jesus' triumph over death left Satan powerless to make death the final word for Jesus or for us. The Evil One's most strategic plan to bring damnation on us all left the old snake with a crushed head at the doorway of Jesus' empty tomb" Phil Ware. Heartlight.org.
