THE MESSIANIC PSALMS [Continued, from page 297]

from that suffering He begins to sing. Listen to Him, reading through from verse 22 to verse 31 inclusive, and your own heart will sing as you hear Him singing. In verse 22 we have language that is taken up in Hebrews 2:11 and 12 and is there identified as coming from the mouth of the Son of God: “ I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.’’ Think of Him “ in the midst of the church”— for, according to His own promise, wherever two or three are gathered in His name, He is in the midst—think of Him leading in the singing of the church, and declaring unto His brethren God’s new name as Father! Remember His word to Mary Magdalene, the first person to whom He showed Him self alive after His resurrection. He said to her: “Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren [ ‘He is not ashamed to call them brethren’ (Heb. 2:11)] and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God” (John 20:17). How wonderful it is to be re minded by Him that God is now our Father, that we are now brethren in the family of God, with the risen and glorified Son of God at the head of that family! Let us treasure the promise of verses 27 and 28 of our Psalm: "A ll the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord’s: and he is the governor among the nations.” Now look at verse 30. Here we have the answer to the question raised in Isaiah 53:8, “Who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken” ; therefore He left no family, no descendants, no offspring, no generation. But here in Psalm 22:30 we read: “ A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.” That is, these whom He now greets as His brethren con stitute the new family, the family of God. “They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this” (v. 31). “ Done” is the same thing as “ finished.” Thus the Psalm ends as it began, with a word from the cross, the triumphant shout of our glorious Lord: “ It is finished.” An Apology Using the symbolism of an argosy, an nouncement was made in the May K in g ’ s B u sin ess of the launching of the Sum mer School of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. In this connection, a picture of a ship was used. In the use of this draw ing, T h e K in g ’ s B u sin ess editors and staff artist were wholly unaware of any consequent infringement upon the rights of another artist. Apology is hereby made to E. Theodore Nelson, Room 2300, 120 Wall St., New York, N. Y., whose beautiful study of a ship at sea was used by the Pocket Testament League as a cover for its Quarterly for September, 1936.
