Msg #1320 Stubborn Stiffnecked and RebelliousWhat The Bible Says Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice
The book of Psalms is divided into five volumes and when literary genius is divided in chapters, sections or volumes the third usually captures the heart of the matter. Psalm 78 is in the third volume of the Psalm collection and begins “Give ear, O my people, to my law.” This marvelous work of 72 verses goes on to expound the purpose of that law, the blessing of heading the law, and then the stubborn, rebellious, and stiffnecked reaction of man to God's law, and what God was finally going to do about that reaction. It is a tremendous study, worthy of considerable analysis. The leading illustration of stiffnecked rebellion and unbelief is captured in the tribe of Ephraim. The impressive list of things that should have secured complete belief fills 32 verses. There are then 10 verses to cover the 10 plagues of Egypt and then 12 more verses to document Ephraim's unprecedented pigheaded stubbornness and rebellion. Finally in verse 65 there is an amazing and disturbing analogy: “Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.” Now look what God had to do to conquer the stubborn rebellion of man. He “smote his enemies in the hinder parts,” he “refused the tabernacle of Joseph,” and he chose the tribe of Judah, .. the mount of Zion, … and the Throne of David. If you will see your stubborn rebellion conquered you will have to approach a Jew that died on Golgotha of Mount Zion and now sits on the throne of David for ever and ever. The gospel is his death, burial and resurrection. Believing is seeing. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me.”
