Day 217 – August 5, 2021
Scriptures: 1 Chronicles 26, Luke 24, Psalm 98 I love coupling Psalm 98 to Luke 24. It is the joy of salvation that is upon us in the resurrection of Christ. While most of the focus in chapter 24 is on the resurrection, Luke includes a critical piece to the theological puzzle. Jesus ascends to the right hand of God. I say this is critical because it the point of the whole Gospel. Jesus doesn’t come to die. Jesus comes to do away with death. Jesus comes to inaugurate the kingdom. All of that is celebrated here in the resurrection and ascension. We join with David, ““Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.” (Psalm 98:1)
