“For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.” (Psalm 16:10 NLT).
This psalm of David was quoted by the apostle Peter (See Acts 2:27) as a biblical proof that Jesus Christ, Son of David, was prophesied to rise from the dead without seeing decay. Peter preached this sermon on the day of Pentecost and 3,000 Jews from all over the Roman world came to faith in Christ.
This Messianic prophecy revealed to David has already come to pass. Now everyone who trusts in Jesus Christ can be assured that God’s “Holy One” who defeated sin, death, and the grave will not abandon us, but will raise us to life to dwell forever with Him.
PRAYER: Dear Father, thank You for Your Word that reveals Christ to us and through Him, our salvation. For in Christ we are assured that we have received eternal life. Strengthen us to live according to this promise today. In Jesus’ name, amen.
