Psalms (Program #38) – Christ—The Reality of the Law as the Testimony and the Word of God
consider for a moment an interesting observation. Suppose the ruler of a country were to pass a law legalizing corruption, what will that tell you of the character of that ruler? It will likely tell you that this person, this one making such law was also corrupt himself. You see, laws are actually a kind of portrait of the law-giver. So when we come to the laws of God we shall realize that they are a portrait of the Person that gave them. In another word, the laws given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai is a portrait of the Person of God, a portrait of Jesus Christ. So when we come to a passage of Scripture such as the 119th Psalm with its 176 verses many speaking of the law, we should have the impression that what we are seeing is not God’s demands upon you and me but rather we are seeing Christ as God’s expression and also the one to whom we are coming that He may supply us with Himself in order that we as His members could live Him out fully meeting even surpassing God’s every demand.
