Let's take our Bibles and look together once again at Psalm 120. There are times when I
think that I'm able to get through a Psalm in one message simply because it's a shorter
Psalm and yet I've found that this Word is so profound, that if you take the time, I trust
we do, to slow down and read it prayerfully and carefully, that it is an Infinite Treasure
because it pertains to an infinite God and an infinite Savior and an infinite salvation.
That's really what we need. We're not talking about just some temporal deliverance when
it comes to the salvation of God through the LORD Jesus Christ, we're talking about
eternal matters, and that's why it behooves us to give it some consideration prayerfully.

So here in Psalm 120, called a ‘Prayer of Deliverance’, these were songs, as I said, the
next 15 are ones that are called ‘Songs of Degrees’. These would have been sung,
because we have to remember these Psalms were sung. This is a hymnbook of the church.
It's about Him, Christ. And they were sung as they made their way up to Jerusalem three
times a year, the males who were ordered of God to go three times a year for worship and
that's where the sacrifices were made, that's where the high priests were, that's where God
had purposed that His name should dwell, again, a type of the LORD Jesus Christ. And
when we read these, we might think that the deliverance here has to do with David, but as
we've been seeing, each of these Psalms are prophetic of the LORD Jesus Christ.

You might say, "Well, how did the LORD Jesus need delivering?" When you look at His
life, if you didn't have the Scriptures, you would say He was a failed Savior based on
what men did to Him and how they treated Him and ultimately crucified Him, but when
we read the Scriptures, we learn that every part of His suffering was ordained of the
Father because He came to bear the sin of many. He came to bear the sin of those sinners
that God the Father from eternity gave to Him and purposed to honor Him as the Savior.
This was even before the fall.

And so, all of the Old Testament prophets and priests and kings were types and pictures
of the LORD Jesus Christ, the Prophet, the Priest, and the King. Typically, there wasn't in
any one person in the Old Testament, all three of those offices and yet the LORD Jesus
Christ in fulfilling all that was foretold of Him, indeed they are all summed up in One.
The Prophet, God's Prophet. God doesn't speak to a sinner but through His Son. That's
what a prophet does, prophesies, foretells, reveals. And a Priest. None can come unto

Page 1 of 10
God but by Him. And King. It's not that He's going to reign someday but He reigns.
Scriptures say when He was raised from the grave, He ascended on high and He sat down
at the right hand of the Majesty on High. To sit down means the work is complete. He's
not up there wringing His hands, walking back and forth and hoping people will believe
on Him. No, He has sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on High. His very presence
there, having fulfilled all that God the Father purposed for the salvation of His people,
His very presence is enough for God to forgive everyone for whom He paid the debt. He's
not having to whisper in the Father's ear and every time one of us might fall to say,
"Well, I guess you need to forgive that one too." No, they're all taken away. They're all
taken away, my sins are all taken away!

So, when we read here, for example in verse 1 of Psalm 120, "In my distress I cried unto
the LORD, and He heard me." That's the sum of the Gospel, that there was One Who was
put to distress. In other words, He was numbered among transgressors and notice Who
does the crying, Who does the speaking, "I cried unto the LORD." As we saw last time,
that was not a whimper cry, or a wimpy cry, or a defeated cry but rather the Word speaks
of a cry and a shout of victory. "I cried unto the LORD." In other words, when it was all
finished we read there in John 19, Christ cried unto His Father and said, "It is finished."
Every type, picture, prophesy, He could not lay down His life until it had all been
fulfilled. That's the glorious Savior of Scripture.

"And He heard me." Think about the fact that were it not for Christ the Substitute, He
could not hear anyone of us. The only reason He hears any sinner is because Christ is that
representative and our blessing is in not so much me making my voice heard, but
knowing that there is One seated in glory whom the Father has heard, does hear and shall
hear. He said there in Psalm 2, "Ask of Me of the nations and I will give them unto You."
Whatever the Son asks, He gets. Well, He doesn't ask for any more than what the Father
has purposed to give Him. There is harmony between the Father and the Son.

But here in verse 2, "Deliver My soul, O LORD." We saw that this is a soul-suffering
descriptive of what our LORD endured. A lot of people, Hollywood, they like to take and
replay what they call the passion of Christ and it's all about His physical suffering. Yes,
there was physical suffering but He says, "Deliver my soul." This is why this matter of
salvation is out of our hands. We can't even plumb the depths of our soul. Can you tell
me where your soul is? Can you point to it? I know here we go like, "Well, it's
somewhere around my heart." The Middle Easterners said it was down in your bowels
somewhere when it spoke of the ‘bowels of mercy’, that's where your soul is. Some say,
"Well, it's up here in our head somewhere." We can't even identify, how on earth could
we ever satisfy a Holy God based upon our soul?

It's infinitely more than what we could ever think and yet our LORD Jesus Christ in
becoming a man became a soulish human. He did not have a soul, if you will, before He
took on a body. He was Spirit from eternity. We talk about tripartite: body, soul and
spirit. He was ever a Spirit. God is Spirit from eternity but He took on a body and He was
given a soul, which means He was made perfectly human. Not some phantom, not some
spirit that had a body, but perfectly human and that was in order that He might suffer.

Page 2 of 10
The soul-suffering of the LORD Jesus Christ. The travail of His soul is what Isaiah
speaks of. Even that alone goes beyond what we could ever think. Philosophers have
been writing about this for years and they can't even agree. I'd rather believe the Word.

"Deliver My soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue." Now, that can
be two ways: from the lying lips of others and the deceitful tongue of others that might
cause this soul to look away from the Father. You see, to be the Substitute He had to be
perfect as that Substitute. But also, "Deliver My soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from
a deceitful tongue," to where any evil thought might be produced out of this soul. "He
was tempted in all things like as we are, yet without sin." Now, when it says there in
verse 1, "In My distress I cried unto the LORD, and He heard me," what was His
distress? It was the temptation that He would endure as the Son of Man, as the Substitute
for sinners.

And when it says, "He heard Me,", then we can rest in what these Scriptures say that with
all that was put upon Him, the temptation, the trials, the contradiction of sinners against
Himself, the sin of that people that He came to save, which He bore, all of that laid on
Him yet without sin. That's a glorious Word there because that's what it takes for us to
have salvation, a Just Representation. If I was a defendant, I would want the best attorney
there was so that in the end I would be legally acquitted of any charges. But guess what?
We're talking about acquittal in the very core of God Who is no respecter of persons. So,
unless there has been just satisfaction, then He does not acquit. And the Good News of
the Gospel is that those that the LORD Jesus Christ represents have a just satisfaction in
Him. Case closed. It doesn't matter what people out here say about it. "Well, he's guilty!"
Yup, but I have an Advocate, Jesus Christ the Righteous. And the Judge just didn't look
the other way, but this Advocate Himself came and worked out that righteousness that
God might be just to justify.

It says here in verse 3, "What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee,
thou false tongue?" Again, this can be understood in two ways: either the false tongues
and the lying of even religious men. Do you realize Christ's greatest opponents were the
religionists of the day? If they were alive today, we would call them the purists, the
fundamentalists, the legalists. They are the ones that are making sure that when you pay
your taxes, you make sure every dime is given, when you pay your tithe, you make sure
everything is... They gave an appearance of righteousness before God and yet they denied
the power thereof. It was just outward. They loved to stand on the street corners and draw
attention to themselves. And these were the ones who crucified the LORD Jesus Christ
because He would not give any credence to any of their works. There is only one work
that Jesus Christ came to fulfill and satisfy and that was His Father's will. He said, "My
Father works until now and I work." Everything He did was in harmony with the glory of
His Father.

So, this could be addressed to people who believe themselves righteous, which would be
a false righteousness. When people stand up and talk about themselves today as being
good in any way are lying. When people talk about God accepting them based upon their
works, they're lying on God. That's a false tongue and I'll tell you, there's more lying

Page 3 of 10
going on in places of worship right now at this hour in the world, than you can imagine
even in the worst places of thieves and robbers meeting in dens somewhere. I know that's
a shock to many, but anything that is stated that is not in accord with this Word is a lie.
And I'll tell you, somebody started a lie years ago, when they started preaching that God
loves everybody and has a wonderful plan for their lives. That's a lie. Every time
someone says that, they're lying on God.

I'll tell you another lie is that when the LORD Jesus Christ died, He died to save
everybody. I'll tell you what, if God loves everybody and Christ died to save everybody
and everybody then is not saved, then what does that say about God? What does that say
about the death of Christ? It must not be significant at all because it doesn't do anything.
That's not the message of Scripture. Yes, God is love but His love is in His Son, the
LORD Jesus Christ, and He loves every one that He has given to His Son. That's why He
gave them to His Son to be their Savior. And when Christ came and lay down His life, it
wasn't to try to save everybody. He said, "I lay down My life for My sheep," and then
there in John 10:26 He said again, "Ye believe not," that word order is important, "Ye
believe not because you are not of my sheep." How do you know whether you're a sheep
or a goat? Well, just keep on in that unbelief in rebellion against a Holy God, raising your
fist in His face, and if you die in that unbelief, it's pretty clear that you were never one of
His sheep.

But, oh, when God is pleased by His grace to reveal Christ in us and turn us about, lay us
low and cause us to look to Christ alone as the Great Shepherd and look to His death
alone and what He accomplished for righteousness alone to be our righteousness, there is
evidence then that you're one of His sheep else you never would have turned to Christ.
Christ said, "All that the Father giveth Me," what? "Shall come to Me." How do I know
I've been given of God to Christ? I come to Christ just as He is right here in this Word.
When I open this Word and read, there's a lot I don't understand, but when God is pleased
to open my eyes to teach me of Christ and I find agreement in my heart concerning His
person and His work and I can truly say amen, that's the agreement that the Spirit gives
and I rest.

I would never agree were it not that His Spirit were given me and that's why the rest of
that verse says, "and him that cometh to Me," boy, those are good words, aren't they? "I
will in no wise cast out." A lot of preachers like to quote the second part without the first.
They say, "Just come. Just come as you are. If you do, God promises He won't cast you
out." But I'll tell you, sinners won't come, not in the way that God says to come, as a
wretched sinner, empty, undone. People will run to a ceremony, they'll run to a
profession, they'll run to an experience but they cannot come to Christ. Christ said that,
"No man can come except it be given Him of My Father." Inability. We're deaf, dumb
and blind until such time as the Spirit of God reveals Christ in us and when He does, we
come and that's the evidence that we're His.

So, when it says there, "What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee,
thou false tongue?" that is addressed to those that speak evil of this Savior and Deliverer.
But it's also a reflection. You see, that's the second part of this. "What shall be given unto

Page 4 of 10
thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?" Were Christ to have submitted
or given Himself over to a lie in any way, then there would be no salvation. So, what
would be the purpose, then, of even giving over to a false tongue? I know there's an
argument, some say, "Well, He was God so He could not have sinned." Well, He was
such a man that the temptation was real and it was necessary that He endure that
temptation as the Substitute without leaning on any Divinity in Himself. He didn't stop
being God but to work out this salvation He had to be utterly cast upon His Father, as if
He were not God. You remember when Satan tempted Him and said, "All You have to do
if You're the Son of God, just command these stones to turn into bread. Come on, You
can do it!"

To satisfy hunger. You talk about not being able to hold up to temptation, boy, I'll tell
you, you can be on the best diet in the world and say, "I'm never gonna to eat bread
anymore, I'm just gonna eat anything but the whites," but I'll tell you, when you get
hungry enough and you come across a packet, you might be in the store looking for some
chewing gum, but you come across a packet of that King Hawaiian that you see
advertised, you go without it long enough that when you get in the car, you're going to
look both ways and you're going to devour that whole thing. That's just the way we are by
nature. We could not even resist the simplest of temptations and yet our LORD said to
Satan, "Get thee behind Me. It's not good to tempt the LORD your God." He was letting
Him know who He was. But the temptation was real. He had to endure those temptations,
physical, spiritual, all in order to be the Jjust Savior that God might be just to justify.

He says in verse 4, "Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper." This shows how
they used to try to take over cities and shoot arrows that had fire on them and coals of
juniper in order to bring down a city. The fiery darts of the wicked. Imagine our LORD
not only had to withstand the temptation of personal sin, in other words, be tempted in all
things as a man, but the temptation of Satan, the temptation of the world. All of these
things, the devil, these were all like sharp arrows of the mighty, I'll tell you, far mightier
than any one of us.

I hear people today talking about Satan as if he's some little ball you can just kick around
to get him out of the way. Stop and think about it: he felled man in his best state. Adam,
he brought Him down. Now since then, we're all born sons of Adam. We're born fallen
creatures. Do you think there's anything in any one of us that could ever withstand him?
People that act like he's just some kind of balloon, you see these people popping balloons
and passing them around. You think that's what he is? You're deluded. You're deluded.

"Sharp arrows of the mighty." He's mightier than I am. My sin is mightier than I am. I
could shut myself out from the world for the rest of my life and just live in an isolated
place, but a whole world of evil would be dwelling there with me, my nature, my sin
nature. There's a lot of corruption that goes on in isolated places. We're finding that out
reading church history, some of these monastics who liked to go up on high mountains
and get together and withdraw themselves, supposedly to live a pure life and then
someone sneaks in and finds out what's going on. I remember preaching in France back
in 1990 and for whatever reason there was a group of so-called Reformed pastors from all

Page 5 of 10
over Europe, Ireland, there were 200+ there, Italy, Germany, England. There was even a
man there from South Africa. And we were all grouped in this monastery, of all places.
You talk about being a fish out of water, when they took me up to my room, there were
all kinds of icons on the walls. I took them all down and put them in the closet. That was
one of the toughest three days of my life that I can remember ever since I've started
where the LORD dragged me to preach the Gospel. Not so much because of the place but
the idolatry of the preachers that gathered. They were no better than the ones that they
supposedly left, the church they left.

But I can remember being there and asking some people, some of the help, they had a
father that had all of these others waiting on him, whether it was the women that were
nuns and then they had the men over here that were the priests and they all waited on this
father, and he was like a mafia father, everything was done by him. And I started asking
about the history of that place and they found that back in history there was a place where
babies had been aborted and their skeletons had been buried back underneath this wine
cellar because the priests were cavorting with the nuns and they didn't want it to be
known that they were having babies and so they killed them off. All of this in the name of
purity, withdrawing from the world and putting on an appearance of prayer, walking
around repeating prayers. I say that that sort of lifestyle, you don't even know the half. I
know every once in a while, the LORD purposes that it come out. Even today we've
heard of some pretty atrocious things that have gone on in the name of religion.

But whether it be that or whether it be some that profess a religiosity, profess a

sanctification. You see, that was the big thing that I grew up under that once you're
converted now there is a progressive sanctification. You're slowly improving on this
flesh. What a delusion. It doesn't matter. It's like a friend of mine said that he and his
family decided to get rid of their tv and put it in the closet and I said, "Well, what
happened?" He said, "Well, it finally became evident that there wasn't enough room in
the closet for all of us to get in there and watch tv so we decided to move the tv back to
where it was."

That's the way people are. I remember back up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, it was a sin to
have a tv but everybody had one and when the Domini, that's what they called Him, the
Domini came around for a visit, they had a special antenna that was not on the roof. This
is back before cable. You could put it in your attic so no one could see that you had an
antenna. And they had their tvs in these big armoires with a lock on it so when the
Domini showed up everything was put away. That's the way people are. That's what they
are by nature.

But here when it says, "Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper," you see, we're
just talking about outward things, what about the thoughts of the heart, like sharp arrows?
Determine today that you're never going to have an evil thought for the next 24 hours, "I
refuse to have an evil thought." Well, I dare say as soon as I say the word "evil thought,"
a bunch of evil thoughts came to your mind. Those are those arrows like flame and if they
ever get a hold of you, boy, I'll tell you, they're going to rock the city.

Page 6 of 10
But that's what our LORD endured. Never had an evil thought. Think of that. All that
they did to Him in this flesh. You know, "scarcely for a righteous man will somebody
die, but while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us," and for Him to die He had to be
that Perfect Lamb to withstand every one of these sharp arrows. Sharp arrows indicate the
design of a killing and I will tell you, these arrows have killed us many times over but our
LORD withstood, endured. He was the Perfect Lamb.

Verse 5, "Woe is Me." You think about Him leaving glory. "Woe is Me, that I sojourn in
Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!" Now this is interesting because Mesech, if
you look it up, these were the sons of Japheth. Who were the sons of Japheth? They're the
ones that went up and settled in Armenia, up where it would possibly be Turkey today, in
that area, and then eventually over into Europe, Spain and then England and then
eventually the United States.

"Woe is Me, that I sojourn in Mesech," so this would be the Gentiles, but also, "that I
dwell in the tents of Kedar!" You go and look at Kedar, they were the descendants of
Ishmael. Kedar was the son of Ishmael. These were wandering tribes. These were the
Ishmaelites. These were the ones that came and took Joseph and bought Him and took
Him into captivity into Egypt. They were wandering Bedouins. So, whether it was in the
north toward what we would know as Europe today, or southern route going down these
Bedouins, this was where He made His sojourn.

"Woe is Me, that I sojourn." You think about Christ coming in the flesh. "He came unto
His own and His own received Him not." He was the Creator of this world and yet a
stranger in it. He was the One that was giving life to the very ones who said, "Crucify
Him! Crucify Him!" He would sustain all things by the Word of His power and yet no
one acknowledged Him.

That's what's being described here and I know some would say, "Well, this would
describe David's experience. He was the anointed but wandering from place to place."
But it's a picture of our LORD Jesus Christ as He walked this earth. What humility. All
for what? To save sinners such as we are.

"My soul," verse 6, "hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace." Now, when you read
that, don't think of somebody else. Don't think, "Ah, that's those religious Pharisees. They
hated Christ Who was their peace." No. If Christ paid my debt, then pause and consider,
"My soul hath long dwelt," this would be the words of Christ, "with him that hateth
peace." Do you realize that were we left to ourselves that we would be these peace
haters? We're God haters by nature. I know everybody gets excited when there's a baby
born. How cute, how sweet. I heard it said years ago, that babies are vipers in diapers and
when they grow up, they become people. That little, sweet baby becomes something
other and we say, "What happened?" Well, it's just that it's become more manifest. They
have more possibilities and ways of expressing it but it was there all the time because
we're born sinners by nature.

Page 7 of 10
We're born God haters. This God that I preach for you is not the God I was born
believing. I was raised in believing that there is a god and I was taught certain terms from
this Bible concerning Christ, concerning redemption, concerning grace, concerning
judgment, but I also believed that there was something I had to do to make it effectual.
The key was in my hands. Salvation when I was growing up, salvation was presented like
an offer. That's why they gave invitations. "Come on down and accept this offer." And I
was told it's like a gift. God has this gift ready to give to you but you've got to extend the
hand of faith. If you don't extend the hand of faith, then there is no way that you're going
to receive the gift. So everything was an exchange based upon a negotiation between the
sinner and God.

You know, men like that message because it puts power in their hand. To think that, "Ah,
I've got the key and I can decide any time I want to." But that's not the case. So when
we're confronted with the God who has salvation in His hand, it's in His Son's hand,
Christ said that, He thanked the Father that the Father had given Him authority over all
flesh that He might give eternal life unto as many as the Father had given Him. That tells
us then that it's not up to me to decide, it's up to Him and there are people that hate that.
You see, the peace, the terms of peace are in the Son or the Prince of Peace. That's where
the terms are and not in men.

"My soul has long dwelt with him that hateth peace." People would rather continue to try
to establish their own peace than to bow to Him Who is that peace, that is, the Peace
Offering. There is a Peace Offering that was required in order for God to be satisfied and
Christ is that Peace Offering but men hate Him. I know there are some that say, "Well, I
don't hate God. I don't hate, I love God. I love Jesus." You love your god, you love your
little j-e-s-u-s but when you read this Scripture, there are certain portions of the Scripture
that some have called me and said, "I just don't read them. They kind of scare me. I don't
want to think about it." And what they don't want to think about is that God is God and
He saves whom He will. And in their heart, they're thinking, "Well, that's not fair." When
they read Romans 9, "Jacob have I loved, Esau have I hated." "What kind of God is
that?" They find fault with God. Those are the peace haters, because I will tell you there
is no other way to have peace with God than through that Way that He Himself has
ordained which is His Son, the LORD Jesus Christ, and whom He will save.

They accused our LORD of being a divider and it is true, there was a division because of
it but what's the answer? Look at verse 7, "I am for peace." That's what our LORD came
to establish, but not for everybody. That's why He said, "I didn't come to establish peace
but bring a sword." So somebody could look at that and think, "Well, then He's a
divider." Well, He is. He has divided between the wheat and the tares. He divided
between the sheep and the goats.

But when He says, "I am for peace," and notice, "am for" is in italics. In the original it
just reads, "I peace." That's Who He is. He is peace. He is that peace through His blood
sacrifice by which sinners are reconciled with God. That's a legal peace but then there's
that spiritual peace whereby He gives His Spirit and brings this otherwise reprobate mind
and rebellious heart to be reconciled to Him for Who He is.

Page 8 of 10
"I am peace: but when I speak," you see, Christ is the Word and when this Word is
revealed to sinners, notice to them, not in them, when it is revealed in them, Paul said,
"When Christ was revealed in me," there's a difference. Preaching right now, this Christ
is being revealed to you and only you know in your heart how it is that this is being
received.

He said, "when I speak, they are for war." People would rather fight this God to their
death and eternal condemnation than to bow and believe what this Word says, that there
is salvation in none other.

Now that's quite a chapter when you consider it. I have entitled this "Christ Our Example
of Suffering" and yet it's more than an example, He's the Substitute.

Now, over here in 1 Peter 2:21-25, we'll read this and then close in prayer.

1 Peter 2:21, "For even hereunto were ye called." "Called" means "summoned." Not
invited but summoned. So these are the ones that God has purposed to save in Christ and
by His Spirit now has drawn to Christ.

"Because Christ also suffered for us," that little word "for" is substitution. Not for
everybody. "Us" has to do with those that Peter addresses at the beginning of his epistle,
here in chapter 1, verse 2, "elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father
through sanctification of the Spirit unto obedience and sprinkling with the blood of Jesus
Christ. Grace unto you and peace," there it is, "be multiplied." So don't take it out of
context. He didn't suffer for everybody, but suffered for us, so if I am of that number,
look what it says,

"leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps." What it means is that when we
identify with this Christ, we're going to know suffering, so how are we supposed to
respond? Well, commending ourselves to Him,

"Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth." You see, continue to look to
Him as our Substitute.

"Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but
committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously." That's what the Spirit does, causes
us to be cast entirely on this Substitute because, I'll tell you, even if it were up to us to
follow His example in order to be saved, we couldn't be saved. But it's not saying to
follow the example in order to be saved, it's saying follow this example because you are
saved.

"Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to
sins," in other words, those sins have no more effect on us; they've been put away. That's
what it's talking about, "should live unto righteousness." What does that mean? Unto that

Page 9 of 10
righteousness, unto Him Who is our Righteousness. We look to Him, "by Whose stripes
ye were healed." I love that, ye were healed. Once for all.

"For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop,"
look there, "of your souls." Don't you suppose He's a Good Shepherd of our souls? I
couldn't even keep my soul but I'm thankful He does because He keeps every one that
He's redeemed.

Alright, let's have a word of prayer to close.

Gracious Father, I thank you for your Word. I thank you for the life which Christ lived
and the death that He died and the example that we have in Him that still would say
without hesitation how we need Him to be that Substitute and that Intercessor on our
behalf. I'm thankful He is there at the right hand of the Majesty on High and He ever lives
to intercede on behalf of sinners such as we are. What a Glorious Hope there is for those
of us who are in Christ. My prayer, dear LORD, is that You would give us eyes to see
Him and ears to hear His voice through this Word and to look to Him alone. I'm going to
give You all the praise and honor and glory in His dear name. Amen.
