Please save us!



I know that it may seem strange to be referring to Easter while we are in the middle of the season of Advent, but as Christians we always need to see the connection between the birth of Jesus and his crucifixion. Psalm 118 is Messianic in language and is used in both liturgical seasons.  

"This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. 
Please, Lord, please save us. 
Please, Lord, please give us success.
Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
We bless you from the house of the Lord.
The Lord is God, shining upon us."
- v.24-27

These words are sung when we remember Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, as well as when we ponder the Incarnation of Christ. God hears our cries for salvation and sends his son into the world. 

Thought: Is there someone you know who may need your prayers today?
