Jesus and the Psalms
Lesson for September 11, 1919
r. i v
SOME parts of the Old Testament Jesus never once mentioned. Others he quoted again and again. Could this be because some parts were "more helpful to him than others? At any rate, the Psalms were ' one section of his Bible which he often quoted. Worship ONE USE Jesus made of the Psalms was in public worship. Whenever he went up to the Temple he would join in singing
or in , listening to the great , choirs singing these ancient hymns. Many of our own bestloved hymns, while not- direct translations, are based on Psalms. For example, "Still, .Still With Thee"
is from Psalm 16; Dr. Foreman "God Is My Strong Salvation" from Psalm 27; "The King of Love" from Psalm 23; "O Worship the King" from Psalm 104. I In private worship also we know Jesus used the Psalms. One of the Hebrew names for them was "The Book of Prayers," and Jesus, like many another who has loved these Psalms, found in them the natural expression of what was deepest in his heart when he turned toward his Father in heaven. . A striking proof of this comes from the story of Calvary. The cry, "My God, why hast, thou forsaken me?" is a quotation from Psalm 22:1, and "Into thy hands I commend my spirit" Is from Psalm 31:5'. -Thus, two put of three prayers V,.' iiHoi-( In "his last moments
were from the : Psalms. So the reader today, pondering in a quiet moment these immortal poems, either from the printed book or better yet, as Jesus did, from the treasures of memory, may often find in them prayers which seem breathed from his own mind am' to which he need only- say, Ame-
Truth about God IESUS also found in the Psalms a revelation of truth. It would be too much to say that Jesus derived his ideas of God from the Psalms. But certainly some of the great .teachings about God which we hear from Jesus we can read already in the. Psalms.
Jesus did not use the Psalms stupidly, of course. He would never have supposed that you could take Just any sentence about God out of some Psalm or other, and qute It as the last .word about God. Vnr instance, during his tempta
tions the thought was suggested to him that he could jump off a high building and not be hurt; had i n,nmi.a 4tiet that fn II
Psalm? Now it is true that Psalm 91:9-12 does say that God will keep you from "dashing your foot against a stone" but Jesus knew that does not mean that God will -

Christ in the Psalms
vTT'STTS fminrt in tha Psalmn alsn
J prophecies. There is a rather.
thin line between illustration and prophecy.
For instance, when the Jerus
alem boys and girls were making
iuch a noisv welcome for him.;ana
Ithe dignified priests were protesting, Jesus quoted Psalm 8:2 in defense of the children: '"Out of the
mouths . of babes and sucklings
hou hast perfected praise."
' Did he mean that the Psalmist had predicted that very occasion, or did he mean that the Psalm expressed a truth always good. At all events, we do know that
Jesus often took a Psalm, or a part
f one, as a prophetic picture of
imself. He knew himself to be the
rue King of Mankind, "the Lord's
Anointed," as his use of Psalm
10:1 plainly shows.. ..,
Yet he also knew, that he must
ass tnrougn sintering to nis
hrone. (Luke 24:28). When the aaders of his people rejected him
e . was, not ' surprised, for. he
hought at once of Psalm 118:22-23. Vhen he hung on the crass, and
aw the soldiers gambling ior ms
lothes, Psalm 22:16-18 would sure-
y come into his mind. ' .
And can we doubt that in his last ionies, one ,who knew the Psalms
a well would not "have? remembered
lso, the later lines .from the same rpphetic. ; Psalm? It begins with ie -tragic question Why? 'But it
ises to song, of triumph ''When
a cried unto him; he heard! "

AT THE CHURCHES CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Substance" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, September 11. The Golden Text is: "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit" (I Corinthians 2: 9, 10). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear" (Hebrews 11: 1, 3). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Spirit is the only substance and consciousness recognized by divine Science" (p. 278). "The substance, Life, intelligence, Truth, and Love, which constitute Deity, are reflected by His creation; and when we subordinate the false testimony of the corporal senses to the facts of Science, we shall see this true likeness and reflection everywhere" (p. 616).

There is something refreshing and wholesome in the' sight of this fine boy and girl, chatting in friendly fashion as they plod their way to school. They are typical of many thousands of boys and girls who are preparing themselves, through study and training, for the duties'and responsibilities of life. Parents are often concerned about the academic progress of their children. But to be mentally alert is not enough; to be able to judge between right and wrong is essential. Progress in the knowledge of God and the principles of right living should be a matter of deeper concern. ( True education encompasses the training of the soul along with that of the mind and body. When this training is neglected, life is incomplete, because it lacks the foundation of a vital faith. Boys and girls should turn to the teachings of the Church and to the precepts of the Holy Scriptures as the most important part
of their life training.
