Contrast Compassion and Hope
31
Thesis: There are many dual contrasts in the Bible. Psalm 90 discusses a couple of them : justice vs sinfulness, mercy vs misery and time vs eternity.
I. GOD'S ETERNITY (v. 1-2)
- God is dwelling place - He fills all time and
place in eternity - forever and ever - God doen't start or discover, increase or
decrease. He is infinite at every moment
II. HUMAN TEMPORALITY (v. 3-6)
- contrasted with God, humans have beginning
- God lives in eternity, we live briefly in time
III. THE JUSTICE OF GOD (v. 7-9)
- As eternal God interacts with temporal man, we
see contrast of His justice and our sinfulness - Because God is infinitely just, our sin
provokes His wrath - God does have wonderful plan for your life -
but it is remedy to His wrath (eternal), not
temporal
IV. REPITITION OF EARTHLY TEMPORALITY (v. 10)
- Life short because of our sin and God's wrath
- Even 130 year old Jacob said life was short
V. PRAYER FOR WISDOM (v. 11-12)
- Moses shows us to fix our hope on eternity
since sin filled life is so temporary. - Wise to set eyes/minds on eternal Christ
- Wisdom ties to fear of God (Proverbs 1:8)
VI. PRAYER FOR MERCY (v. 13-14)
- temporal consequences need eternal mercy
- satisfaction found in eternal face of Jesus
VII. PRAYER FOR PROSPERITY (v. 15-16)
- True happiness found in eternal prosperities
(Romans 8:18) - True legacy is showing Christ to offspring
- All things summing up to eternally perfect
Christ - even us, is true prosperity
