Today, we are celebrating Easter Sunday, or as we often call it, Resurrection Day. It is the day Jesus rose from the dead, providing confirmation that His sacrifice for our sins on the cross was, indeed, accepted by God.

This trial was a sham. The Sanhedrin had no evidence that Jesus had blasphemed in any way, nor any that He had committed any crime or sin. He truly was innocence on trial.

This, like Psalm 124, is a psalm that describes the oppression of the enemy. Just as in 124, the enemy’s oppression is undone by the Lord’s salvation. After outlining the extent of the oppression, the psalm turns the attention to the salvation of the Lord that comes through the judgment of the wicked.

The only thing keeping him from being swept away? The Lord who is on our side.
