Psalm 2:12: Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
The typological significance of the “son” is seen fulfilled in Hebrews 1:5. This coronation psalm is quoted here in referring to the exaltation of Christ at His resurrection (cf. Acts 13:33) and Ascension. By this He is “declared … to be the Son of God” (Rom. 1:4), a messianic title.
The Second Coming will mean wrath to all who rebel against God and His anointed King, but great joy and refuge for all who by faith submit to God’s plan to rule the world through David’s greater Son, Jesus Christ. So the title of “son” from the Davidic Covenant ultimately becomes the designation of Jesus Christ as King. 1
Living the Transformed Life
Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God, Psalm 146:5
- How lavishly do you express your love upon Jesus? Is He the One you truly live for?
- How is Jesus more that a well-known religious leader that you are acquainted with?
- How obvious is it to others, that your love for Jesus exceeds all other passions in your life?
There is no greater One to love, than loving the One who loved you, and died for you, when you were dead in your sins, and loveless.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You Father, for revealing the greatness of Your love for me everyday. Dear Jesus, please teach me how to love others like You have loved me.
