Kiss The Son

“I and My Father are One.”

“Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, ‘Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?’ The Jews answered Him, saying, ‘For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a man, make Yourself GOD.’” [1]

“Then [different occasion] Jesus said to the twelve, ‘Do you also want to go away?’ But Simon Peter answered Him, ‘LORD, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are THE CHRIST, the SON of the living GOD.’”

“HE [Jesus Christ] is the image of the invisible GOD, the firstborn over all creation. For by HIM all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, dominions, principalities, or powers. ALL THINGS were created through HIM and for HIM. And HE is before all things, and IN HIM ALL THINGS CONSIST. And HE is the HEAD of the body, the Church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that IN ALL THINGS HE may HAVE the PREEMINENCE.” [3]

“Now therefore, be wise, O kings; be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the SON, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.” [4]

JESUS is the SON who is the LORD. Thus, when, we hear a call to kiss HIM, it means to bow in reverence and love before the Sovereign KING of KINGS, JESUS, the SON of GOD. On the other hand, if we get too full of ourselves, and scoff at serving the SON, “kissing” [worshipping] toward HIM, if we seek our own glory, then we will ultimately perish in our sin.

Only the Lord saves. He is the Savior.

“Our God is the God of salvation; and to God the Lord belong escapes from death.” [5]
