The first testament “Gospel of Jesus Christ” by the Psalmist David! One of the greatest experiences you will ever have in the FIRST TESTAMENT is to view the revelations of Christ by King David. The Book of Psalms is the most read book in the First Testament. This book is so eternal and unmatched in literature that it stands alone. David is called, “The Man After God’s Own Heart”. His one great failure broke his heart and left him a more humble and sensitive man, The Bible does not record the moment in his life that he received his first revelation of the Christ. It must have been before he started writing the Psalms. In Psalms two he saw the “Virgin Birth”, in Psalms 22, he saw the “Crucifixion and in Psalms 16, he saw the“Resurrection”. Please notice the certainty of his words.
“For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.” (Psalms 16:10)
When he spoke of the Virgin Birth it was also a beautiful statement of the “Trinity of God”.
“I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.” (Psalms 2:7)
The ‘Only Begotten Son” is a classic term concerning His conception by the Holy Ghost. The description of the “Crucifixion” is even more graphic. Note several verses from Psalms 22.
“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.” (Psalms 22:1,14,16-18)
You will never find a description of the Savior’s death more powerful than these words of David.
