    Core Truth: Our Scripture today is “a celebration of the unquestionable supremacy of God and His Messiah over all the rebellious forces of humanity, making the dramatic point that to attempt rebellion against God is absurd, because God has already decided the matter and has invested His power and authority into a human king, His Messiah. There is no question as to who would win in a confrontation between God and His Messiah on the one hand and rebellious humanity on the other: God wins. It cannot be any other way. Moreover, God wins through His Messiah. As far as humanity is concerned, there ends up being no substantial distinction between God and His Messiah. You serve God by serving His Messiah. If you rebel against the Messiah, you rebel against God Himself. To trust in the Messiah is to trust in God. (BiteSizeExegisis.com)

    Scripture: Psalm 2:1-12
    What fools the nations are to rage against the Lord! How strange that men should try to outwit God! For a summit conference of the nations has been called to plot against the Lord and His Messiah    , Christ the King. … But God in heaven merely laughs! He is amused by all their puny plans. And then in fierce fury He rebukes them and fills them with fear.

    For the Lord declares, “This is the King of my choice, and I have enthroned Him in Jerusalem, My holy city.”

    His Chosen One (Christ) replies, “I will reveal the everlasting purposes of God, for the Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son. This is Your Coronation Day. Today I am giving You Your glory.’” “Only ask and I will give You all the nations of the world. Rule them with an iron rod; smash them like clay pots!” O kings and rulers of the earth, listen while there is time. Serve the Lord with reverent fear; rejoice with trembling. … His wrath will soon begin. But oh, the joys of those who put their trust in Him!”
