Scripture Reading : Psalm 21
Theme : Praising God’s Power through the King
- The King and God (1–7). This is speaking of the messianic king who will be bestowed with eternal reign, splendor and majesty. Only the ultimate Davidic king can receive such praise.
- The King and His Enemies (8–12). When the king appears, He will destroy all His enemies, no one can hide from Him. His shear, righteous wrath will be on display. This hope will be fulfilled when Jesus returns to earth.
- Praise to God (13). When all enemies will be destroyed, God’s people will praise His power to execute righteous judgment on evil people (Rev. 6:10).
Praying the Scripture
Although Jesus came as a lowly human baby without any authority, however, after His resurrection, He was given all authority over all of heaven and earth, that is, over all mankind and angels (Matt. 28:18). When He returns He will display fully all His majesty and splendor and power. In the end, Jesus wins. He will triumph over satan and his people. Rejoice that you belong to king Jesus. Praise His might over evil. He is your deliverer and refuge.
经文:诗篇21
主题:借着王赞美神的大能
- 王与神(1-7)。这述说的是弥赛亚王;祂将得到永恒的权柄、尊荣和威严。唯有最终的大卫王能得到这样的赞美。
- 王与敌(8-12)。当君王出现时,祂将消灭所有敌人;无人能回避。祂巨大、公义的愤怒将展现出来。当耶稣回到地上时,这个盼望将成真。
- 赞美神(13)。当所有敌人被消灭后,神的子民将赞美祂对恶人施行公义审判的能力(启6:10)。
用经文祷告
虽然耶稣道成肉身时以卑微、无权势的婴孩出现,但在祂死里复活后,天上地下所有的权柄都赐给祂了,就是掌管人类和天使的(太28:18)。当祂再次回到地上时,祂将彻底展示祂所有的尊荣、威严和大能。最后,耶稣是得胜的。祂会胜过撒旦及属牠的。要因你属耶稣君王而欢呼。要赞美祂胜过邪恶的大能。祂是你的拯救者和避难所。
