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?
