The shortest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 117.
Praise the LORD, all nations; laud Him, all peoples!
For His lovingkindness is great toward us, and the truth of the LORD is everlasting. Praise the LORD!
But it has a powerful message: the hesed – the loyal love – of the LORD is great toward us; and His truth is everlasting. I encourage us all to meditate on that statement, emphasizing the verb is when we recite it: His lovingkindness is great toward us; and His truth iseverlasting. The apostle John wrote something similar of Jesus, the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us. John 1:14 and 17 say that grace and truth were revealed in Jesus Christ. He was the flesh and blood witness of Psalm 117 to us – and His Holy Spirit is the living witness of its truth in us.
Yours and His,
