Psalm 118 God's Goodness and Love Amidst Our Distresses

The last song Jesus sang publicly before his betrayal and crucifixion was Psalm 118 which begins, "Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!" Can you imagine? What about us? How can we sing that God is good, and is being good to us, when life hurts us and people are hateful to us? I. Celebrate the goodness of God and his love, vv1-4II. See that Jesus suffered like us, as an example, vv5-21. III. See that Jesus suffered for us, as our Savior, vv22-29.
