I've chosen a text from Psalm 24, and it is a great one, reminding us that no one can stand before the Lord without clean hands and a pure heart. We're going to focus in this hour on three verses in the middle of a psalm of triumph about Israel's Messiah and king. Here's the text (Psalm 24:3-5): "Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully. He will receive blessing from the LORD and righteousness from the God of his salvation."
Here's some good news to start with: This text actually points the way of salvation for sinners whose hands are already dirty and whose hearts are already defiled. But we're going have to work our way through the text in order for you to see that.
Let me start from the beginning, though, and we'll get a quick an overview of this psalm that will help establish some context for you...
