“They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness Unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.”
Psalm 22:31 KJV
David wrote this prophetic psalm all about the Messiah for David himself experienced none of what he wrote. It was fulfilled perfectly in the Lord Jesus Christ as He hung on the Cross. For God made Jesus to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Today we, the people who were yet unborn at that time, declare Christ’s righteousness. We do not come to God with our own righteousness, but with His. Any form of self righteousness is not acceptable to God the Judge because He judged our sin on Jesus Christ at the Cross so we would receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness to reign in life. Grace is only given to the humble of heart who have received Christ’s righteousness as a gift. Our own righteousness leads to dead works but His righteousness makes us bear much fruit! Therefore we choose to declare Christ’s righteousness and teach our children and children’s children of this wondrous gift of righteousness given freely to us, simply by faith. Thank You, Jesus!
