Jesus Fulfills Psalm 119
Psalm 119 and Jesus
General Pictures: Jesus as the Word- While there are 177 synonyms for God’s law, word found in Psalm 119. Jesus is the ultimate embodiment of Word. The Word has become flesh and dwelt among us- John 1:1-14
He does things Psalm 119 attributes to the Word. The Word gives light in 119:105, 130 and Jesus is the Light- John 8:12; 9:5.
Jesus fulfills the picture of the Psalmist trusting God, His word, and seeking to follow Him.
See the comments below about the Servant beginning with Psalm 119:17.
Jesus fulfills the picture of the God in whom the Psalmist trusts. See the comments about God teaching in 119:12. Jesus is Creator and Sustainer of our world as God is said to be in 119:89-91 (John 1:1-3; Col. 1:15-17).
The Ministry of Jesus and His fulfillment of Psalm 119
Most of these passages and their fulfillment in Jesus are described more completely in the passages below.
In the temple at 12- Luke 2:47 and context when Jesus was in the temple at 12 and all were amazed at His understanding fulfills Psalm 119:99-100.
In the temptation- Matt. 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13 Jesus resisted temptation by appealing to the Word of God and fulfills Psalm 119:11, 101.
In prayer- Mark 1:35 Jesus rose a great while before day and prayed like we read in Psalm 119:147. Luke 6:12 Jesus prayed all night before choosing the apostles and that type of thing is mentioned in Psalm 119:62.
In His miracles- In Psalm 119:29, 58, 132 the psalmist’s cry to God be gracious to Me. In Jesus’ miracles He is often met with the cry to have mercy on me in Matt. 9:27; 15:22; 17:15; 20:30-31.
In His teaching- Compare Matt. 11:30 to Psalm 119:39 and how its ties with the teaching of Jesus.
In His crucifixion- The cross of Jesus is foreshadowed in the psalmist’s persecution- see Psalm 119:23.
109:8 forsaken is the same word in Psalm 22:1; 16:10
119:39, 42 The reproach of the Cross- Rom. 15:3; Heb. 11:26; 13:13
119:108 Jesus the sacrifice- Heb. 10:5-10
119:141 despised- Isaiah 53:3
In His resurrection- See 119:25 and the word revive or made alive.
