Rescued and Redeemed - Psalm 105:28


Psalm 105 was speaking of the plague that God sent so the Egyptian pharaoh would release the Israelites from bondage. 

Matthew Henry wrote this about Psalm 105:24-45:

As the believer commonly thrives best in his soul when under the cross; so the church also flourishes most in true holiness, and increases in number, while under persecution. 
  • Yet instruments shall be raised up for their deliverance, and plagues may be expected by persecutors. 
  • And see the special care God took of his people in the wilderness. 
All the benefits bestowed on Israel as a nation, were shadows of spiritual blessings with which we are blessed in Christ Jesus. 
  • Having redeemed us with his blood, restored our souls to holiness, and set us at liberty from Satan's bondage, he guides and guards us all the way. 
  • He satisfies our souls with the bread of heaven, and the water of life from the Rock of salvation, and will bring us safely to heaven. 
  • He redeems his servants from all iniquity, and purifies them unto himself, to be a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Adapted from Matthew Henry's Concise Bible Commentary
