Psalms 78: 40 – 72
Psalms 78: 40 – 55
Let not those that receive mercy from GOD, be thereby made bold to sin, for the mercies they receive will hasten its punishment; yet let not those who are under Divine rebukes for sin, be discouraged from repentance. The HOLY ONE of Israel will do what is most for HIS own glory, and what is most for their good. Their forgetting former favours, led them to limit GOD for the future. GOD made His own people to go forth like sheep; and guided them in the wilderness, as a shepherd His flock, with ​ all care and tenderness. Thus the true Joshua, even JESUS, brings HIS church out of the wilderness; but no earthly Canaan, no worldly advantages, should make us forget that the church is in the wilderness while in this world and that there remaineth a far more glorious rest for the people of GOD.

OLD TESTAMENT
🌈
1 Chronicles 8: 29 – 9: 16
1 Chronicles 9: 1
All Israel.
Chapter 9 is concerned with the community of GOD’s people after their return from exile in Babylon, emphasizing their continuity with Israel before the exile. This first verse gives the reason for their captivity while the rest of the chapter deals with the priests, Levites and the Nethinims (temple servants) whom GOD appointed to restore the true order of worship that had been lost during the captivity.

NEW TESTAMENT
✝
John 5: 30 – 47
John 5: 47
If ye believe not his writings.
This passage is important in establishing JESUS view of the Old Testament. HE indeed believed that Moses wrote the Pentateuch. The lesson the Jews needed, and one we need today.
