It may sound like I’m on crack, but I believe that a large portion of the psalms is an account of the conversations between God and Christ as he was in fellowship with the Father during his ministry.
All responses are appreciated.
I could never understand Psalm 119 until I read it as Jesus speaking. The mentions of sin I attribute to David, naturally, but the Lion's Share seems to apply wonderfully to Jesus.
I would not be surprised for a moment to discover what you say here is true. Many Psalms that I can think of read that way. I'm going to keep this in mind as I read them.
Something else I've been coming to is the effectiveness when the Spirit prays a Psalm through one. I've seen miracles come that way.
If the Psalms are Jesus and the Father, and why not, then we, being Christians, share in the discourse.
As we read with the understanding that the Psalms speak our hearts to the Father, and the Father's heart to us, then as we identify with the Psalms, and their pathos, and this centers us upon the real us, away from the mind of the flesh, so we can define ourselves as God does.
Interesting idea, I'm going to be keeping that in mind!
Much love!
