Psalm 49

From Spoken Gospel

RELATED SCRIPTURE

This Bible study devotional covers Psalm 49. In this passage, the psalmist gives a riddle about escaping death. Rich people falsely think that money is the answer. But even as they hoard up wealth in life, Death shepherds them to their final resting place. The riddle of death remains unanswered. As always, we are committed to showing you how to see the good news of the Gospel in every passage of Scripture. In Psalm 49, we see that God answers the riddle. Jesus paid a way out of death by laying his own life down. He satisfied death’s demand and walked out of the grave. Everyone who trusts his payment, he will shepherd out of the grave into pastures of life.
