What does Psalm 110 say about Christ as the King-Priest?

Answered in 1 source

Psalm 110 reveals Christ as the exalted King-Priest who sits at God's right hand, signifying his completed work of redemption.

Psalm 110 emphatically presents the Messiah, Jesus Christ, as the King-Priest who fulfills the requirements of both roles in the redemptive plan of God. This Psalm begins with the Lord, the Heavenly Father, declaring to Christ to sit at His right hand, which underscores the completion of Christ’s redemptive work through his sacrifice. Unlike the Old Testament priests, who could never sit down due to their ongoing sacrificial duties, Christ’s single, perfect offering allows him to rest at the right hand of God, symbolizing that our redemption is finished and secure. This position of authority signifies that all enemies ultimately will be made His footstool, demonstrating Christ's sovereignty over all creation and His completed work of salvation.
