B. A Word for the Church (Lk. 24:25–27, 32, 44–47; Ps. 41:9; Jn. 17:12)

Now these are the last words of David: The oracle of David, the son of Jesse, the oracle of the man who was raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel: “The Spirit of the LORD speaks by me; His word is on my tongue.” 2 Samuel 23:1-2
