Psalm 22:30-31 – Posterity shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation; they shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn, that he has done it.
Observation –
Future generations shall serve the Lord and they will be told of the Lord and His rule over the nations. The righteousness of Jesus will be proclaimed to those not even born by his finished work on the cross. Jesus carried out God’s plan in his sacrificial redemptive death and resurrection to take on the sins of mankind and make those who believe in the name of Jesus right with God.
Application –
Jesus completed work on the cross gives us faith to serve him. The word here tells us it shall be told to coming generations and my role is to play a part in letting others know the Good News about Jesus. The Word of God will go out and not be stopped, but as a believer I have an opportunity and calling to tell others about Jesus about what he has done to save us. Not everyone may listen or believe, that is the job of the Spirit to convict people. Proclaim is an action verb meaning to declare publicly, insistently and proudly of the righteousness of Jesus Christ in his salvation of sinners.
Prayer –
Father,
Thank you for your love, grace and mercy in sending Jesus to save an underserving world form death. Let the power of the Holy Spirit give me strength, boldness to serve you and proclaim your gospel to make disciples and glorify you.
