Psalms 2

Introduction: Acts 4:25 tells us that this is a Davidic Psalm.

Inquiry of David: Why do the heathens rage?
They want to break the bands of the Trinity
Today, heathens are anti-God and anti-authority
David knew this thinking wouldn’t work. He says the “people imagine a vain thing”
Insurrection of God vs. 3
Heathens want to be united against God
They want sexual, intellectual, domestic, and spiritual freedom
Indignation of God the Father vs. 4-6
God scorns the heathens and confuses them
God still has patience with them, but judgement will come if they don’t repent
Intention of God the Son vs. 7-9
Jesus Christ arose from the dead to live forever
The difference between Jesus Christ and others who were raised from the dead, is that
those people still had to die again. Acts 13:30
God promises a relationship to Jesus Christ and to all believers
Jesus is our mediator to God. He is our high priest
The earth will be an inheritance to Jesus to rule forever
Jesus will rule with a rod of iron
Jesus is the stone that will destroy all kingdoms Daniel 2
Invitation of God the Holy Spirit vs. 10-12
The Holy Spirit invites the rebellious to turn to God
The Holy Spirit wants us to be submissive to Him, given by a signal of “Kiss the Son”
Romans 5:10 We are reconciled to God through Jesus’ death and resurrection
Revelation 6:15 It is better to trust Jesus than not to

BLESSED ARE THEY WHO PUT THEIR TRUST IN HIM!
