As Far as the East is From the West

This morning 17 students and I braved the chill to meet to talk about the next book of the Bible, The Psalms. After talking about some basic facts about the Psalms like the fact that David only wrote 73 of the 150 we looked at allusions to Jesus included in the Psalms and how that could have happened. After that we did a study of one of my favorite Psalms, which is Psalm 103. The study notes I used may be seen here.

Questions for the dinner table:

How far is the east from the west?
Are there really allusions to Jesus in the Psalms?
How are we like a piece of grass or a flower (Psalm 103:15)?
Is being compared to something so temporary a troubling thought to you?
How can this comparison spur you into action?
