Psalm 110: Messiah is King and Priest

The Son of David is the Lord who was given the seat at the right hand of God Almighty for the purpose of ruling over the enemies of God and His people. This one person, who is both God and human, has absolute authority over all the enemies who seek to destroy my life. Sin, Death, and Devil will continue to harass, tempt, and torment me until they are driven out of existence from the Eternal State at Messiah’s Second Coming. In the meantime (“until then”) my Savior and Lord is ruling and controlling them for me and for the good of His people.

This same King Messiah is also my High Priest forever, doing two things for me: 1) He is continually presenting Himself as the sacrificial Lamb claiming before God and proclaiming to Satan my grace-given and blood-bought innocence, and 2) He is continually interceding on my behalf and praying my prayer needs before Almighty God the Father.

My Friend and Shepherd is my King and Priest. I could not possibly have any greater assurance that my prayers for His Presence, kingdom, and will, for daily needs, forgiveness, overcoming, and deliverance will be answered. Jesus rules!
