May 24, 2018 - Suggested Reading Psalm 2 for May 27th’s message on Matthew 3:1-17 in the 2nd Service


 “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
Psalm 2:6 (NIV)

The world is astir, rulers threaten each other and jockey for power and authority.
Will North Korea submit, or will they fight? What is Russia doing? What is China doing?
What is Pakistan doing? What is India doing? What is Iran doing? What is Sudan doing?
This psalm answers the question – “Can they ever find common ground?” – for they do find common ground in their rejection of and rebellion against God’s King.  They conspire together, they rise up together, they band together to break God’s rule over the world. God laughs and uses their conspiracies and energies to install His King. He uses them for His good purposes – He uses them to fulfil His plan to make His Son the King of kings and Lord of lords, and to bless the world thru His good and righteous rule.
So the question for me and you on this beautiful day is - will we break with the world around us and willing submit to this King, our King Jesus?
