On Sunday we had the pleasure to study more of Christ’s great self-revelation. He turned the key in the lock of heavenly glories and let us peer within. The plainly dressed, plainly appearind carpenter from Nazareth declared that He is no less than God. He is the Lord over life and the reason God first called light out of darkness. 

 In these truths are not only future joys, but present comfort. The following passage from Spurgeon’s commentary on Psalm 110:1 was encouraging to me, and I hope it will be encouraging to you. 

Psalm 110:1 says,
The LORD says to my Lord:
“Sit at My right hand
Until I make Your enemies a footstool for your feet.”  

This key Old Testament text tells us of a conversation between God the Father and God the Son. It is central to our understanding of the Lordship of Jesus Christ, being quoted in Matthew 22, Mark 12, Luke 20, Acts 2, and Hebrews 1 in addition to references in several other books as well. 

 Reflecting on these words, Spurgeon writes: 

Jesus is placed in the seat of power, dominion, and dignity, and is to sit there by divine appointment while Jehovah fights for him, and lays every rebel beneath his feet. He sits there by the Father's ordinance and call, and will sit there despite all the raging of his adversaries, till they are all brought to utter shame by his putting his foot upon their necks. In this sitting he is our representative. The mediatorial kingdom will last until the last enemy shall be destroyed, and then, according to the inspired word, "cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God even the Father." The work of subduing the nations is now in the hand of the great God, who by his Providence will accomplish it to the glory of his Son; his word is pledged to it, and the session of his Son at his right hand is the guarantee thereof; therefore let us never fear as to the future. While we see our Lord and representative sitting in quiet expectancy, we, too, may sit in the attitude of peaceful assurance, and with confidence await the grand outcome of all events. As surely as Jehovah liveth Jesus must reign, yea, even now he is reigning, though all his enemies are not yet subdued. 

…He sits because all is safe, and he sits at Jehovah's right hand because omnipotence waits to accomplish his will. Therefore there is no cause for alarm whatever may happen in this lower world; the sight of Jesus enthroned in divine glory is the sure guarantee that all things are moving onward towards ultimate victory. Those rebels who now stand high in power shall soon be in the place of contempt, they shall be his footstool. He shall with ease rule them, he shall sit and put his foot on them; not rising to tread them down as when a man puts forth force to subdue powerful foes, but retaining the attitude of rest, and still ruling them as abject vassals who have no longer spirit to rebel, but have become thoroughly tamed and subdued.  

Amen, and maranatha.
