\u201cHe sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name!\u201d (Psalm 111:9 ESV).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 111 is a song of praise celebrating the mighty works of the LORD. It is an acrostic psalm, each line beginning with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet, demonstrating the completeness of God\u2019s praise. The psalmist recounts the LORD\u2019s works of creation, providence, and especially redemption. In verse 9, he declares that God \u201csent redemption to his people,\u201d recalling Israel\u2019s deliverance from Egypt by God\u2019s mighty hand. Yet, this redemption looked forward to a greater deliverance from sin and death that would come through God\u2019s Son, Jesus Christ. The psalmist\u2019s statement that God \u201chas commanded his covenant forever\u201d points to the permanence of His promise. What He began with Israel finds its fulfillment in Christ, the mediator of a new and better covenant (Heb. 9:15). Indeed, the One whose \u201cname is holy and awesome\u201d has made Himself known to us by name, Jesus, which means \u201cthe LORD saves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the psalmist wrote, redemption was an act of God\u2019s power and grace displayed in history. But for us, redemption has a name: Jesus! God didn\u2019t merely send a salve or a solution; He sent His Son. As Paul wrote, \u201cWhen the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons\u201d (Gal. 4:4\u20135). Because of Jesus, God\u2019s covenant love is not just eternal, it\u2019s personal. Through Jesus, God redeems our past, renews our hearts, and restores our relationship with Himself. When we say His name, we proclaim the holy and awesome God who became flesh to save us. Let us never grow flippant or tired of saying His name, but let us worship Him with reverence and awe, for redemption has a name, and that name is Jesus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRAYER: Dear Father, we praise Your holy and awesome name! Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus to redeem us. Help us to live as Your redeemed people, walking in gratitude and awe of Your everlasting covenant love. May our hearts and lips continually glorify the name that is above every name: Jesus! For it’s in His name we pray. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
