Psalm 2:7-12
“I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.”
I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
You will break them with a rod of iron;
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Psalm 2:7-12 (NIV)
This is a royal psalm that was historically used at the coronation of a new king in Israel, but in the New Testament it is applied to Jesus. (Acts 13:33, Hebrews 1:5) How does this psalm speak to you about Jesus? If you were to rewrite it in your own words about Jesus, what would you say? Write out a few lines.
