Psalm 17 is known as a prayer of David, he pours out his plea and his praise. Then he summarizes in verse 15, “As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied in Your presence.” David gives us insight into resurrection after we pass from this earth. A simple statement when I wake up from sleeping in the earth, I will be in Your presence and I will be content. The message the disciples took to the world was nothing new, but they delivered this message of hope with a renewed spirit. Even from their lives of oppression, living in an occupied land, they delivered the promise of our Creator to a world that was (and still is) desperate for hope.
