Day 228 – August 16, 2021
Scriptures: 2 Chronicles 26-28, Psalm 2 “Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling.” (Psalm 2:10–11) I love that Psalm 2 related to our 2 Chronicles reading today. Some of the kings were good men who loved the Lord and others, like Ahaz were not. Psalm 2 is a Messianic Psalm. It is all about kings and rulers. Specifically the kings of the world, and God’s king, who will become his Son. Understood from a a Christian perspective, we believe Psalm 2 to be speaking about Jesus who is the Christ. He was the long-awaited Messiah, who would set the world to rights. Kings and rulers take warning, Jesus is Lord and King! That’s the content of Paul’s preaching in Acts 13. ““We tell you the good news: What God promised our ancestors he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: “ ‘You are my son; today I have become your father.’” (Acts 13:32–33) Jesus is King. You have life in his Kingdom. Jordan
