if you have any desire to escape
the wrath to come. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry
and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare
up in a moment. Psalm 2 verse 12 By kissing the
Son, we are to understand love to Christ's person, devotion
to Christ's service, submission to Christ's authority, Since
the Lord Jesus is the blessed and only Potentate, the King
of Kings and Lord of Lords, then love, devotion and submission
to Him are our truest wisdom and the only true path of genuine
blessedness. For what blessedness can they
have who are liable to the wrath of God? If his wrath flares up
against you, could you endure the thought of meeting his displeasure?
Are you stronger than God? Will you provoke him to jealousy?
No. The most careless of mankind,
if he reflects at all, must be sensible that it is a fearful
thing to fall into the hands of the living God. How blessed
are all who put their trust in Him. Psalm 2 verse 12. They shall be protected by His
power. They shall be preserved by His
grace. They shall be enriched by His
bounty. They shall be blessed by Him
with all spiritual blessings. And in the last day, they shall
be seated with Him on His throne and be partakers of His glory
forevermore. A saving trust in Christ renders
a man inconceivably blessed. It brings peace into his soul.
It obtains for him the forgiveness of all his sins. It secures grace
sufficient for him and strength according to his day. It makes
him blessed in every state, in health or sickness, in wealth
or poverty, in life or death. it entitles him to an incorruptible
and undefiled inheritance in heaven. No person who ever possessed
sincere trust in Christ ever perished. Glory and honor and
immortality are the portion of all who sincerely trust in Christ
as their Lord and Savior. If you have any desire to escape
the wrath to come or to lay hold on eternal life, then this is
the sure, the only way of attaining your end. If you neglect Christ,
then whatever else you either are, or have, or do, it will
avail you nothing, and you must perish everlastingly. Love the
Lord Jesus Christ, and give yourselves up to Him, and notwithstanding
your past, present, or future sins, you shall never perish,
but shall have everlasting life.
