Summary

Today Lauren Atkinson joins Emma Dotter to teach us how to read scripture in light of Christ. Psalm 118 is a Messianic psalm where we see that Jesus is the full and final passover lamb sacrifice who came to take away the sins of the world by dying for them Himself.

Additional Scripture mentioned in today’s episode:
Colossians 2:3, “in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
John 1:14, “The Word became flesh”
2 Corinthians 5:21, “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
John 10:9, “I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.”
1 Corinthians 1:30-31, “And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, ‘Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.’”
John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

0:00.0	All right, all right, join the Journey family, friends, and guests.
0:04.5	You're listening to Join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma, daughter.
0:09.7	Thanks for joining.
0:10.9	Today, we are reading Psalm 118, and I am back in the podcast studio with Lauren Atkinson.
0:16.4	Hey, hey.
0:17.2	Welcome back, Lauren.
0:18.6	We're getting through these Psalms.
0:38.9	We're doing it. Psalm 118. We're on our way to Psalm 150. A couple months left. And I know it can be a little tiring to be in the Psalms for this long. What encouragement, Lauren, would you give to the listener, the student of God's Word, who's struggling to finish strong? Yeah, totally. I think when we have read the same passages that sometimes can feel
0:45.1	repetitive, it can be easy to start skimming them and just being like, okay, let me just get a
0:50.3	quick application in my life today and move on. Like, this song feels like the one I read yesterday.
0:54.6	Keep going.
0:55.2	Sure.
0:55.7	But I would love to encourage us that we don't always have to go straight to drawing a line

1:02.8	It is important to do that.
1:05.0	But we talked a few Sundays ago about how we grow deeper in our walk with God
1:09.9	by going deeper in the gospel. And so we can't fully
1:13.0	know how a passage of scripture applies to our lives today unless we first know how it fits in the
1:18.3	bigger story of the gospel. That Jesus came, that he lived perfectly, died in our place, rose again,
1:23.6	is raining on high and is coming back. And I remember actually when I was in seminary, Emma,
1:27.8	we had this encouragement as well. And our professor would say, read your Bible like a Christian.
1:32.1	Read it in light of Christ. Like you don't have to just go straight to how does this apply today,
