“Come And Save Us”
Reference: Psalms Chapter 80
Today, If anyone would ask the Lord to save them, He will answer that He has Already saved them when He went to the Cross. We just have to use our faith to receive the salvation already provided.
Israel because of sin (rebellion) was chastised many times by the Lord by allowing other nations to enslave them.
Israel was looking for a warrior king, a messiah that would battle for them against other nations. They did not expect a baby in a manger that will came to deliver them from sin.
The Psalmist cries for help.
Let’s read:
Psalm 80:1-2 “Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. [2] Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.”
We must first be saved from our sins before other things. Israel was not looking to be saved from their sins. They were looking to be saved from other things.
When we are saved from our sins, then the other things we’ve been enslaved by will break off.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 80:3-4 “Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. [4] O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?”
Sin always puts a distance between us and God. Sin hinders our prayers.
Repentance is the solution. We should always come to Him in repentance.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 80:5-6 “Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. [6] Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.”
Sin will cause the enemies of God to laugh at the children of God.
The solution is repentance, something that Israel was not familiar with.
Matthew 3:1-2 “In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, [2] And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
We cannot enter the kingdom unless we first repent.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 80:7-12 “Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. [8] Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. [9] Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. [10] The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. [11] She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river. [12] Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?”
Israel was brought out of Egypt to the Land the God promised. But because of unbelief (sin) they were exposed to the whips of the heathen nations.
We sin because we do not believe. The unbeliever sins because they believe not.
If we believe the wages of sin is death, we will not sin.
God through the blood of Christ has given us power not to sin. We have power over sin if we are dead, buried, and resurrected with Jesus Christ by faith (believing).
We have power over sin when we receive the Person of Jesus Christ, when we are born again.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 80:13-17 “The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. [14] Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; [15] And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. [16] It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. [17] Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.”
The Son of man came to save them but they couldn’t accept Him or even see Him because they didn’t see sin as the problem.
John 1:10-11 “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. [11] He came unto his own, and his own received him not.”
Some even called Him the Devil because He did the work of God. The people had been so far removed from God by the teachings of the priests and rabbis.
They didn’t see God when He stood in their presence.
Today, most of us do not see God when He stands in our presence. For we have been so far removed from the truth with doctrines and theologies instead of simple faith in the Word.
We conclude our reading:
Psalm 80:18-19 “So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. [19] Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.”
He is coming back again. This time for only a remnant of Israel.
Today is the Day of repentance. Our problem is always unbelief (sin).
The solution is always repentance; turning to the Blood Sacrifice.
Let not sin has dominion over you. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. He has come to save us from Sin (unbelief) , in Christ!
