A word from the Word: “One Lord”

This is an encouraging thought from my friend Jim White:

Verse for the day: Psalm 2.2 “The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed.”

The title of Messiah considers the Lord Jesus as the final or greatest of all prophets, the final Priest and the final King. In Psalm 2.2 both God and His Messiah are distinguished. The Apostle John spends considerable time developing the theme of Jesus as God uses the N.T. word “Messias” which is no less than the ANOINTED one.

The whole body of O.T. prophetic Scripture concerning Jehovah’s Coming One (Messiah) who would come to redeem man is involved in these Scriptures. The Messiah, the Christ, is fallen man’s one and only hope. It is to Him that “God gave the Holy Spirit without measure” (John 3.34). In Him was “all the Godhead fully and bodily (Colossians 2.9).

The writer of Hebrews describes our Glorious Lord in the opening verses of the epistle:

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;” Hebrews 1.1-3

“If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent us an educator;
If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist;
If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist;
If our greatest need had been pleasure, God would have sent us an entertainer;
But our greatest need was forgiveness, so God sent us a Savior.”
