“What Do You Think about the Christ?”
(Psalm 110; Matthew 22:42)
I. Jesus, the Messiah, is the King (Psalm 110:1-3)
A. The person of the Messiah-King is both God and man. (Psalm 110:1; Matthew 22:41-45; Mark 12:36)
B. The position of the Messiah-King is that of exaltation to the right hand of God. (Psalm 110:1; Ephesians 1:20-22; Acts 2:32-36
C. The power of the Messiah-King is now realized through his people. (Psalm 110:2-3; Romans 12:1-2)
II. Jesus, the Messiah, is the eternal Priest (Psalm 110:4; Genesis 14:18-20; Hebrews 7)
III. Jesus, the Messiah, is coming back as the Judge of all the earth. (Psalm 110:5-7; Revelation 19:11-16)
Application:
1. Since Jesus is King, we should submit to His Lordship willingly. (Isaiah 45:22-23; Philippians 2:9-11)
2. Since Jesus is Priest, we should receive His mediation gladly. (Hebrews 4:15-16, 7:27, 9:11-18; Revelation 12:10-11)
3. Since Jesus is Judge, we should avoid His judgment fearfully. (2 Peter 3:9)
