Proclamation:
“I will perpetuate Your memory through all
generations; therefore the nations will praise You for ever and ever.” Psalm 45:17 (NIV)
Explanation:
This psalm was written under the influence
of The Holy Spirit of God by an unknown human author (probably King David) for
the sons of Korah to sing. This psalm is
a wedding song and like they did in ancient times, it focuses on the groom. This psalm appears to be making reference to
Jesus, The Christ, as the groom and the church as His bride. (Psalm
45:6-7) The psalmist spoke these words to
The Messiah, declaring what he would do to praise and glorify Him, and to
perpetuate His memory.
Application:
As believers we are the children of God
and we perpetuate the memory of Christ. (Matthew 5:9) As Christians we spread His name, His Word,
and His praise to all of the people of the world and we have done so with each
successive generation of believers. It
is up to each of us to let all of the people that we come into contact with
know that we are Christian by our Christ-like behavior and conversation.
(Mathew 5:16) We must be living examples
of The Word of God and we must tell others about Christ in order to perpetuate
His memory.
