About This Product
Each of the five widows of Luke's gospel invites, in a moral way, an enlightening analogy with each of the five books of the Psalms.
Excerpt - The fabric of heavenly witness cannot be altered. Not only is its pattern sublimely designed, but its warp and woof are equally the product of the Divine Mind. Worship and wonder become us as the Spirit of God opens colorful tapestries to our spiritual sight from the Word of God.
In the New Testament we find the key, and we learn the true meaning, doctrinally, of what had been written of old. The Old Testament prophets searched their own writings, the fabric not being completed until the New Testament writers imparted the revelations which they had received from the Lord Jesus, penning them for our enjoyment and comfort, "upon whom the ends of the world are come." "Ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new."
Lev. 26:10
Each of the five widows of Luke's gospel invites, in a moral way, an enlightening analogy with each of the five books of the Psalms.
We believe that the feelings of the people of God in Israel are much noticed in these five books, much like the feelings of His people of any day under similar circumstances. Perhaps that is why the Psalms are read generally, especially in times of trial.
The remnant of Israel will pass through various vicissitudes in their coming restoration to Jehovah in their land. The rhythmical heartbeat of the remnant in anticipation, distress, disappointment, sorrow, vision, hopes, joys, and victory are all mirrored in the accounts of the five widows.
Luke, though probably a Gentile by birth, describes more vividly than some in the New Testament the faithfulness of God to His earthly people Israel. As grace seems to be a central theme in this gospel, there are similarities seen in the Psalms. Zion, when restored, will be spoken of as "the city of grace."
The gospel of Luke makes much of Jesus as a Man, His kindness, gentleness, patience, humility; sympathy and compassion, the accessibility of His person as well as righteous walk, but most of all His great heart of love, yearning to have man in eternal blessing with Himself. This seems quite prominent in the first three books of the Psalms.
These graces and feelings were prophetically made the chief subject of the Psalms, together with the sorrows and rejection that were continually His portion as He walked the true pilgrim path down here; detailed in these ancient writings we find His moral glories, threads of color in the divine fabric.
