Hmm… currently trying to write my first ever sermon and Psalm 1 in 5 minutes seems a tall order. I’m feeling comforted that it took Paul Blackham 50 minutes. I wish I had more time; I think some listeners might find ‘the Righteous One is Jesus’ a hard one to accept without fuller explanation. Any suggestions for dealing with super-short time limits?
I do Psalms 1 and 2 in much shorter time here:
http://www.christthetruth.org.uk/psalm1and2.htm
“The man” (a significant title), “trees”, “meditating on the law” and the parallel with the Christ of Psalm 2 all make you think that “The Man” is a King. Also “the man” is contrasted to many wicked. It’s gotta be Jesus.
Or else the point of it is “Read your bible more and maybe you’ll escape the judgement” ;-)
