Big

"The Lord says to my Lord: Sit at my right hand," Psalm 110:1.

A big deal goes on here. David, prophet and writer of this psalm, witnessed the Lord Jehovah God speak to David's descendant, the Messiah, whom David calls his Lord. But the Messiah, the Christ, would not be born for about a millennium yet. So, roughly a thousand years later, Jesus took up this same psalm written by his ancestor, and asked his contemporaries: How can David call his descendant his Lord? That is: How can anyone be under the rule of their descendant? Which is to say: How in the world could the baby in that famous manger be Lord of his ancestor? Were they alive at the same time? To put it another way: Which of your dead ancestors do you rule? Which of them speak of you as their ruler? With men it is impossible. But with God all things are possible. Really big deal.

With a brother or sister today, we are taken aback by the timeless peace God establishes with Jesus at his side. And, together, thankfully, in wonder, we yield our lives to Christ Jesus as our Lord. Sky kingdom.
