A new series looking at the Messianic Psalms

WHY “Messianic” Psalms?
“… where there is a reference to the Messiah in a psalm, and it is applied to Christ and expounded in the New Testament. Sometimes a whole psalm applies to Christ, e.g., Psalm 22. Sometimes a paragraph, e.g., Psalm 40:6-10. … Sometimes a single verse, e.g., Psalm 41:9.” (https://plymouthbrethren.org/article/11672)

"It is obvious that some of the psalms are occupied entirely with the Person and the thoughts and feelings of our Lord while others clearly refer to the experience of the psalmist, … [In Psalm 69] … When David exclaims: “O God, thou knowest my foolishness, and my sins are not hid from Thee,” he obviously is referring to himself (v. 5)." (https://plymouthbrethren.org/article/11672)

“... let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher (or originator and perfector) of our faith …” (Hebrews 12:1,2)

"Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may [i]obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes for the prize [j]is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. 26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified." (1 Corinthians 9:24-27)
