Loving the Eternal Son

Lessons from Psalms: 2

“Kiss the Son lest He be angry” Ps. 2:12

A great truth of Christianity is that we don’t have a jonny-come-lately Savior. God is not reactive. He had a plan from the beginning and He has progressively revealed it and fulfilled it throughout human history. Psalm 2 is a good example of this truth. This is a Messianic psalm, a psalm that clearly predicts the coming Anointed One of God and explains truth about Him. In reading this psalm we clearly see the events of Christ’s Passion Week. The kings of the earth, Pilate and Herod conspired against God. They did this with the assistance of the Jewish leaders who are referred to as the rulers of the people. The target of their hostility is God’s rule and authority and the power of that rule being found in His Son Jesus Christ.

Man cannot break the bonds of God. He is all powerful. Man cannot defeat His Son, for He is also God and all powerful. The authority of God does not just extend to the Jews or the Church. His rule and authority extend to all the nations of the world. The call of God in this psalm is to fall at the feet of Jesus and be saved or to face the wrath of Christ at His return. This psalm covers past, present and future and reveals that God also covers the same.

Dear Father, Thank You eternal plan of giving Your Son for our salvation and as a savior for the whole world. Amen.
