Though Israel rejected the Messiah, God vindicated His Son and set Him as King over all things, for the blessing of all those in His Church.

We take a look at questions 48 and 49 of the Heidelberg Catechism.

Knowing how Jesus Christ defeated His opponents, by making God's word His joy, let us give ourselves to discovering that same well of joy to overcome the sin which so easily entangles.

We examine question 47 of the Heidelberg Catechism and questions 51 and 52 of the Westminister Larger Catechism.

God has graciously put forth His glory in both His creation and in His word so that His people would know Him and faithfully keep His covenant. Knowing the fulfilment of God's word brought about by Jesus, Christians should wholeheartedly cling to the Gospel promise, treasuring them above every other earthly thing.

We go through some review and then we examine question 45 of the Heidelberg Catechism.

Through the preaching of the word of the cross, the glad news that Christ was crucified in the place of sinners, God powerfully saves sinners. Because God has chosen His people, though they were despised by the world, they ought to gloriously boast in Jesus Christ, for through Him they have redemption.

Because of God's steadfast love, David faithfully asks for direction and deliverance in the midst of his distress and trouble. Because Christ trusted God in the midst of violent opposition, we too may call upon Him, no matter the circumstance, for He is the God who redeems His people.
