"Proof to Ponder" -3

"The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool." (Psalms 110:1)

 I know, it is hard to ponder all that is being said in one sitting. As to the ruling factor, Jesus will one day be that KING spoken of, as He portrayed in Psalms 2; which also happens to be another Psalm that has every single verse marked with a red star. The King James version reads a little differently, as it has a little more mercy displayed in verse 12: "Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him." If you really want to get right down to it, anyone that is not willing to make Him Lord, is His enemy. That is some pretty harsh reality, and it does not take a whole lot of research to determine what it means, that we are willing to make Him Lord. He is either Lord or He's not; there really is no other 'way' to make it out to be. The word "way" in the context of what is being said is the road we are traveling upon; or in the manner of speaking, the road that are no longer traveling on! As to the question of origin, there is a proof positive within each and every one of His followers that they truly are His: it is, that we are concerned whether or not we are pleasing Him as His servants. If we have that kind of concern within us, then it is safe to say that we are okay; if we could care less what He thinks, then it might be time to be concerned about the road we are actually on. Oddly enough, there is no middle road to travel down; it is either the road that leads to life, or the road that leads to destruction; and the road that leads to life is straight...

"But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God's right hand. There he waits until his enemies are humbled and made a footstool under his feet. For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy. And the Holy Spirit also testifies that this is so. For he says, "This is the new covenant I will make with my people on that day, says the LORD: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds." Then he says, "I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds." And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifice." (Hebrews 10:12-18) NLT
