Jesus on Every Page: 10 Simple Ways to Seek and Find Christ in the Old Testament

by David P. Murray

What insight the book of Psalms gives us into Jesus’ spiritual life! What a privilege that we can sing Jesus’ hymns from His own hymnbook! As His body, we can sing the Psalms with Jesus, our Head. He is our Song Leader. Pastor Michael Lefebvre, who wrote a book on the Psalms, put it like this: Many modern hymns are written to Jesus, or are written about Jesus. The Psalms also include portions addressed to Christ and many lines about him. But in all the Psalms (and only in the Psalms) we have words of Christ to sing with him. Finding Jesus in the Psalms is not simply about the prophecies of his work in this line or in that line. We find Jesus in the Psalms by hearing his voice leading our praise in every line. . . . Historically, the Psalms were treasured by the Church because they are the hymns of Jesus. The time has come for us to recover a passion for singing, not just about Jesus—but singing with him.
