Psalms 42 and 45 gives us a prophetic look at the King of Kings as he rides victoriously. Psalm 42 also gives us a glimpse of the bride of Christ in the eternal kingdom.

Ps 110:1
The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."
In this verse we again have two different words for Lord. LORD refers to God the Father while Lord refers to God the Son. Substituting God and Jesus, the verse would read this way.
"God says to Jesus: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.""
Jesus Himself quoted this verse in Matt 22:42-45.

Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees. They acknowledged that the Messiah would be the son of David (Jesus was from the lineage of David). Jesus quoted this verse to show them that He was a son of David and also the Son of God as Messiah. Mark records that the crowd listened to Him with delight. It seems that the crowd understood what the Pharisees refused to understand. Could it be that they accepted Jesus' words with the faith of little children and the Pharisees carried around too much theological "baggage"?

How is it with us as Believers, do we carry around too much theological baggage or do we accept Jesus' words with the faith of little children?
