Kissing or Kicking the Son S30e174

We dictate the direction and the content of what we throw at God. Kiss or kick the Son. Join me in Ps 2 today

To praise means to hurl stuff at God

So let’s be careful what we throw at God. Do we kiss or kick the Son?

Ps 42 yesterday 2 seasons. When it is a party for sure. But also on the day when tears aon on the menue for breakfast lunch and dinner Got that from 

         Trust, patience, hope and our praise? Our sincere questions? Longing.

                  Fondness? Affection for his people?

         Or accusation, grumbling, unbelief, cursing, mutiny?

Psalm 2 addresses 2 responses: it beautifully:

         2 Why do the nations rage

and the peoples plot in vain? 

2    The kings of the earth set themselves, 

and the rulers take counsel together, 

against the Lord and against his Anointed,

This is a messianic psalm—the anointed is CAPITALIZED by the translators with intent—this psalm refers to Jesus, as an occupier of David’s throne; of being anointed as messiah and Christ

This is a psalm founded on REBELLION to the reign of the regent of David’s throne.

Is it a surprise that there is push back against Christians today? Are they not on Jesus’ team. Is it not Jesus that many are grumbling against.?

If you are a Christian and feel the rage of the world, or you watch your brothers and sisters in Christ receive the world’s rage, should we be surprised? No. We should expect it

For how long? For a while longer, apparently

But not forever. He who sits in the heavens LAUGHS and holds them in derision v.2:4

6: As for me, I have set my King on Zion.my holy hill. Revolt results in wrath

God surely has a sense of humor and laughs. Imagine there will be plenty of it in heaven. But not this kind of laughter.

But this isn’t chuckling at humor. This is Ha! I don’t think so…

You are powerless, you have no ability to stand against the rule and reign of the Kingdom of God.

To attempt otherwise is laughable.

The Lord is going to HOLD people accountable, in derision for choosing the wrong end of the iron rod. We’re getting to that…

The fury correctly follows the foolishness of this posture

though the wicked have their day and may prosper for a time, In the end, God is not mocked and has the last laugh7  I will tell of the decree: 

       The Lord said to me, “You are my Son; 

today I have begotten you. 

Don’t let this go unnoticed.  The NT refers to and quotes and gives the correct interpretation of the OT truths.

It clarifies what sometimes is unclear.

Here it claims that Jesus is God. Here it claims that Jesus fulfills the promise, made to David, that one of his Heirs, literally from his human lineage,  will occupy the Davidic throne forever. From that throne will come unassailable dominion for all times.

Those that oppose it will be overruledthey will be on the wrong end of the rod of iron.

8    Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, 

and the ends of the earth your possession. 

9    You shall break them with a rod of iron

and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.” 2 Christ will rule over all nations and all people for all timeand even when there is just eternity

Which end of the rod of iron do you want to be on?

Remember: We dictate the direction and the content of what we throw at God.

Are you ready to be on the winning team? Or do you choose to be a rebellious piece of pottery when the proverbial “bull in a china shop” comes to dash all that stand in mutiny?

Lords Fury will follow foolishness of decisions today. Of what we throw at God…. 

Correlation for those that hate the followers of Jesus and Jesus.

But God will have the last laugh of judgement and wrath

We have choice as to which end of the rod of iron we want to be on

In the meantime, don’t be surprised that the world hates you..

Ps 2 talks beautifully about being on God’s team.  It says to KISS THE SON 2:12

How do I know if I am on the right team? If I have Kissed the Son

Examine your Proclaimation and Practice; beliefs and behavior

Have you SET yourself with the Lord? Proclaimed him? What of practice. Belief and behavior.

Let’s first understand: 

              God knows if you are on the right end of the rod of iron:

Here are behaviors by which that YOU will demonstrate that you are on the right end of the rod of iron

    Set yourself in fellowship who are the people you are with each wk?

    Set yourself in Service who are the people you SERVE

    Set yourself in the word. Who is the God you regularly seek in Word? In worship. Are you hurling praise, unity and work at the Lord? All can please Him.

Let me say this negatively:

1to Set yourself Outside of fellowship, sets. You against the Lord

          Do you fail to run to church on Sunday? 

2To set yourself outside of SERVICE, sets you against the Lord.

3To Set yourself outside of His WORD sets you against the Lord

If you are outside of fellowship, service, or awe for His word, I’d be sobered. God isn’t mocked. To say one thing and not follow it by the doing, calls into question the sincerity of the proclaimation.

Here is how you kiss the Son: procalimation, confession, belief.

Also by your feet where they regularly go to fellowship; 

what your hands regularly do to service, the Body of christ first

what your eyes regularly do to behold Him in Awe

This it is to kiss the Son.
