The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah • Appendix IX
Long Messianic discussion on God faithfulness in Midrash
He Remembered His People
The psalmist recalled how God remembered His covenant in Israel's darkest hours.
Old Testament
Psalm 106:44
Yet he took note of their distress when he heard their cry; for their sake he remembered his covenant and out of his great love he relented.
New Testament
Luke 1:54
He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors.
Why This Matters
The psalmist recalled how God remembered His covenant in Israel's darkest hours. Mary's song declares that God has done it again — remembering mercy, helping Israel, fulfilling His ancient promises through Jesus.
Reflection
Risen Christ, turn this lesson into worship. Let hope rise in me as surely as You rose in glory.
