"I will proclaim the LORD’s decree: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father."
Psalm 2:7 (NIV)
The LORD is YHWH, the One True God, the Creator of heaven and earth, the Eternal Spirit. He is big on His Son! He loves His Son, and He thinks highly of Him, for He is well-pleased with Him. If we miss this truth and try to approach God without making peace with His Son, we have made an unrecoverable mistake.
Can you imagine standing before the One True God, having lived your life seeking Him, trying to please Him and believing that He will receive you with joy, only to discover that His Son, whom you have ignored, is the One who controls access to this God? Millions of people have made this mistake! Some people in our day and age teach that all religions point to the same God, and yet only Christians worship a God who has a Son!
This royal psalm ends with: “Blessed are those who take refuge in him”. Oh friend, are you “in Christ”? Verse 2 calls Him anointed. Verse 6 calls Him king. Verse 7 calls Him God’s Son, and verse 12 tells everyone of us to kiss the Son. Christ is the English word for the Greek word Christos. Christos is the Greek word for the Hebrew word Messiah. Messiah is a Hebrew word that means anointed one. Anointed One/Christ/Messiah/Son are all terms that refer to one person:Jesus of Nazareth.
Psalm 2 tells us there is only one way to God, and Jesus preached the same message in John 14:6: “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
BE WISE today; kiss the Son and live!
