“But as for me, God will redeem my life. He will snatch me from the power of the grave” (Psalm 49:15 NLT)

From: March 6, 2014

The Psalmist compares the future estate of the one who trusts riches with the one who trusts in the Lord. Of the one who trusts riches, he says the grave will take them and they’ll leave all fame and wealth behind. But of the one who trusts the Lord, the grave’s power is overcome. The God of redemption will “snatch” him from the jaws of death and restore his life. This psalm points towards the future reality of the resurrection.

“And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations” (Mark 13:10 ESV)

From: March 6, 2013

This is one of the eschatological signs that Jesus gave the disciples in response to their question about the end times. It is both sign and instruction. Are you involved in helping proclaim the gospel to all nations? Those who are obedient are either involved in sending or going.

“Fear of the Lord lengthens one’s life, but the years of the wicked are cut short” (Proverbs 10:27)

From: March 6, 2012

Fear (awe, respect) of God and His Word are good for this life and for the next.

“No man can redeem the life of another…But God will redeem my life from the grave; he will surely take me to himself” (Psalm 49:7, 15)

From: March 6, 2011

To redeem is to purchase by paying the price in exchange for another’s life. Who can afford the cost of eternal life? Only One who has such life to give.
