Exalting Jesus in Psalms, Volume 3, Psalms 101-150 (Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary | CCE)
Overview
Exalting Jesus in Psalms, Volume 3, Psalms 101-150 is part of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series. Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this commentary series, to include 47 volumes when complete, takes a Christ-centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible. Rather than a verse-by-verse approach, the authors have crafted chapters that explain and apply key passages in their assigned Bible books.
Readers will learn to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture, and they will be encouraged by the devotional nature of each exposition presented as sermons and divided into chapters that conclude with a “Reflect & Discuss” section, making this series ideal for small group study, personal devotion, and even sermon preparation. It’s not academic but rather presents an easy reading, practical, and friendly commentary.
- Provides a Christ-centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible
- Explains and applies key passages in each book
- Features practical interpretation of the scripture, helping readers understand how historic text relates to our lives today
Top Highlights
“The rest of the Bible shows that all Christians today are included among the offspring of the patriarchs (Gal 3:6–9; 4:28–31). We have inherited this rich history (Kidner, Psalms 73–150, 374), so we can sing with the psalmist as participants in this story. It’s a gift of God’s grace to be able to worship him.” (Page 54)
“Verses 5–6 set the tone for the rest of the psalm. The writer highlights the relationship between remembering and worship. He urges the saints never to forget all that God has done for his people so that they will live a life of praise. The people are called to remember God’s ‘wondrous works’ and ‘wonders’ (cf. Pss 9:1; 96:3; Deut 4:34) and his ‘judgments’ (cf. Exod 6:6; 7:4; 12:12).” (Page 53)
“Christ you can find the type of forgiveness John Wesley found in the gospel: complete pardon for your sins” (Page 229)
“How should one deal with guilt? This is an important question because every human” (Page 229)
Pastors, teachers, and Christians longing to know God’s Word more will find this latest installment of the Christ-Centered Exposition series on the Psalms a treasure. These three scholars and teachers offer in this commentary a clear and Christ-centered exposition of the Scriptures that reflects their combined years of faithfulness to Christ and his church. This volume will lead you to worship, as well as to learn.
—R. Albert Mohler, Jr., president, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
All of Scripture is God’s word to us; Psalms is God teaching us what words to say to him. And since God’s final word to us is Jesus Christ, so also Christ should be the center of our words to God. This commentary series is rightly named ‘Christ-Centered Exposition,’ and this volume on Psalms 101–150 beautifully fits into that pattern. Authors Danny Akin, Johnny Hunt, and Tony Merida explain the text with wonderful clarity and excellent ordering, always seeking to apply it directly to our twentyfirst-century lives. But their top priority always is bringing their readers to a stronger faith in Jesus Christ. I am truly thankful for their Spirit-led work in this volume!
—Andrew Davis, senior pastor, First Baptist Church, Durham, NC
Danny Akin, Tony Merida, and Johnny Hunt have combined to produce a practical and warm-hearted exposition, pointing people to Jesus Christ in Psalms 101–150. This book will guide readers to see Israel’s hymnbook in fresh ways, recognizing these psalms as wonderful resources of Christian worship and praise. The commentary is characterized from beginning to end by faithful exposition, serving as an exemplary model for those who will teach and preach these psalms in the days to come. I am confident that this work will serve pastors and church leaders well as they thoughtfully and prayerfully reflect on these final fifty psalms. It is a joy to recommend Exalting Jesus in Psalms 101–150
