How do we know that Jesus is the blessed man of Psalm 1?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus exemplifies the blessed man by perfectly fulfilling the law and living a sinless life, delighting in God’s will.

The sermon emphasizes that Psalm 1 primarily speaks of the Lord Jesus Christ as the blessed man. He is described as one who did not walk in the counsel of the ungodly or stand in the way of sinners, perfectly fulfilling His Father’s will. Jesus’ life, marked by joy and contentment in doing God’s will, fulfills the Psalm's descriptions of the blessed man, as He delighted in the law of the Lord and meditated on it continually. Therefore, the foundational understanding of the blessed man in Psalm 1 would be centered in Christ and His righteousness.
