An article proposing that Christians sing the same songs of praise to God that Jesus sang:
How interested would you be if archaeologists unearthed a hymnbook embossed with the name, “Jesus of Nazareth?” Overlooking the anachronism for a moment, wouldn’t “Jesus’ hymnbook” be immediately republished and rocket to the best-seller lists? Wouldn’t those songs find instantaneous popularity in worship services across the globe?
We have that hymnbook. We do know what songs Jesus sang: he sang the psalms.
So a question arises: if you’d be excited about singing the hymns from our fictional archaeological find, then why aren’t you more excited about singing the psalms?Read the rest here and think about the benefits of singing Scripture: Rediscovering Jesus’ Hymnbook.
We sing one each week (and we’ve just passed the half-way mark in preaching Psalms on Sunday nights).
