When the Going Gets Tough

Morning Service
Oct 15, 2023

In Psalm 31, David cried out to God for mercy. He was honest about his need, but he also acknowledged God’s goodness and faithfulness, trusting that God would meet him in his circumstances. In the same way that David looked forward to the coming Messiah for his ultimate salvation, believers today look back at the finished work of Christ on the cross. When Christ cried out for mercy, he received none in order that all who trust in him may receive mercy in abundance. Christ bore our punishment completely so that we may claim his reward.
