Psalm 51 is not a sermon! Psalm 51 is a soul burdened and broken with guilt before God. Sin corrupts and destroys the soul, breaks our relationship with God and will ultimately destroy us now and forever. It is only the blood of Christ which is able to cleanse me of my guilt and defilement! I must be purged by His blood to be cleansed, like the leper once cleansed of his leprosy! Psalm 51 is a soul burdened by sin. Psalm 51 is also a soul who finds salvation in the work of Jesus Christ.
