Kiss to the Son of God

“Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against His anointed, saying, ‘Let us break Their chains and throw off Their shackles.’

The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. He rebukes them in His anger and terrifies them in His wrath, saying, ‘I have installed My King on Zion, My holy mountain.’

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.” [1]

If we join with those who reject and rebel against the Father and the Son, we will shatter into pieces like a broken pot when we see Him. When we stand before the Lord Jesus Christ in His glory, we will be speechless. All nations shall be given to Him. The best thing we can do while alive is to serve the Lord with holy reverence and celebrate His rule. The word “worship” in the Bible means “to kiss to.” We are to kiss to the Son of God and take refuge in Him. Salvation is 100% of Him and 0% of us.

“Blessed (happy) are all who take refuge in Him.” [2]

[1] Psalm 2:1-12
[2] Psalm 2:12
