For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. Psalm 16:10
David wrote these words.
Words of hope and faith and confidence in God.
But David died.
He was buried.
His body decayed.
Was he wrong?
Peter explained it.
So did Paul.
David’s soul was not abandoned to the grave
But David is not the Holy One.
There’s only One.
You know who it is?
David prophesied it.
God empowered it.
Jesus accomplished it.
Jesus is the Holy One.
He was not touched by death.
Why does that matter?
“But we see Jesus,
who was made a little lower than the angels,
for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor,
that He, by the grace of God,
might taste death for everyone.” (Hebrews 2:9)
The everyone includes me.
