I will declare Your name to My brethren; in the midst of the assembly, I will praise You.
Psalm 22:22<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>

Our text today is resurrection language. We find in John 20:17, after His resurrection, the Lord Jesus declared the name of the Father, saying to Mary, \u201cGo to My brethren and say to them, \u2018I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.\u2019\u201d<\/p>

In Hebrews 2:12 we see this verse quoted referring again to our resurrected Lord, in the midst of the assembly, leading His own in praise to the Father! This points to a coming day when that Lamb, as though it had been freshly slain, will stand before the throne of God as the center of worship and praise in the presence of the Father. He will one day stand before the Father and say, \u201cHere am I and the children whom God has given Me\u201d (Heb. 2:13; cf. Isa. 8:18).<\/p>

But this also reminds us of what our Lord Jesus is doing as we gather unto His name now. He takes His place in the midst of the saints, leading us in our worship and praise to the Father as we pour out our hearts in praise to Him. The Lord Jesus is both the object of praise and the divine choir director!<\/p>

This psalm ends with the Lord Jesus having His rightful place among the Jewish nation. There is praise and worship to Him as their Messiah (vv.\u00a023\u201326), and He will have His rightful place on the earth, reigning in righteousness and peace (vv.\u00a027\u201331).<\/p>

As we consider this wonderful, yet sobering psalm, our heart must be full of love for the One who knew no sin and yet was made sin for us. Take a moment to pause and praise Him for what He has done on Calvary\u2019s cross for you.<\/p><\/div>

Anchor For Today:<\/strong>
Lord Jesus, we worship and bow at Thy feet,
<\/span>And give Thee the glory, the honor that\u2019s meet;
<\/span>While through Thee, O Savior, our praises ascend
<\/span>To God and the Father through worlds without end.
