What difference does Jesus Christ make to how we read the Psalms?

Workshop with Christopher Ash

It’s easy to cherry pick the bits we like from the Psalms, lovely devotional verses, words to warm our hearts - and there are plenty of those. But it’s much harder really to pray all the verses in all the Psalms. We keep hitting obstacles - when the psalmist claims amazing innocence, when the suffering is almost incredibly extreme, when the psalmist is winning battles to rule the world, and when they pray for God to punish the wicked. Then we struggle. A proper understanding of how Jesus prayed the Psalms and how they point to Jesus can make all the difference. I hope to open this up with time for questions too.
