Psalm 45 The Glory of Jesus Glory = greatness and majesty
Relationship with God and His people like a wedding.
-The response to His Glory V1 Psalmist praising the Lord (King)
When we see something amazing we are normally inclined to respond.
J.S. Bach said, "All music should have no other end and aim than the glory of God and the soul's refreshment; where this is not remembered there is no real music but only a devilish hub-bub."
-Description of His Glory Verses 2-8 (the Groom)
Vrs 2a handsome and gracious speech. The appearance of the Lord in eternity.
V2b Reign is forever
V3 Protector
V4-5 Conqueror
Verese 6-7 Character is excellent Go to Hebrews 1:1-9 (Messianic value)
Righteousness and joy
Verses 8 Possessions are Excellent
Ivory palace
This psalm we see is about an Ordinary man but not ordinary man.
-Impact of His Glory (on His bride…the church) Verses 9-15 Heb 2:10 “many sons to glory” He brings us with Him
The union of Christ with His people We are the bride Our glory is Jesus
Emphasis is her relationship with the king.
***Men we have to remember if we have a bitter wife and unruly children we have to look at ourselves because they will reflect us to some degree. Maybe we are treating them the wrong way and they are responding to that. That does not excuse their actions but it does bring a reminder of the mans responsibility.
V9 at His right hand (We should always be looking at what the Lord wants us to do)
V10 she looks forward to her commitment in marriage (leave and cleave, the Lord is more important then family))
V11 He delights in her (The Lord delights in us)
V11 honors Him as her Lord. Honor the King as your Lord, know “whose” you are.
V 12 Others begin to notice her place of importance (your testimony will dictate how the world outside treats you)
V 13 She is blessed (we are blessed)
F.E. Marsh has pointed out some of God's blessings:
An acceptance that can never be questioned. (Ephesians 1:6).
An inheritance that can never be lost (I Peter 1:3-5).
A deliverance that can never be excelled (2 Corinthians l:10).
A grace that can never be limited (2 Corinthians 12:9).
A hope that can never be disappointed. (Hebrews 6:18, 19).
A bounty that can never be withdrawn. (I Colossians 3:21-23).
A joy that need never be diminished (John 15:11).
A nearness to God that can never be reversed (Ephesians 2:13).
A peace that can never be disturbed (John 14:27).
A righteousness that can never be tarnished (2 Corinthians 5:21).
A salvation that can never be canceled (Hebrews 5:9).
V14 led to Him (the more we pursue purity from sin the closer we get to Jeus James 4:8 Draw near)
V15 Enters His palace. We are able to enter into the Lord’s presence through prayer and when we leave this earth we will go to the house of the Lord.
We are impacted by the Glory of Jesus Its not about us its about Jesus… His Glory shines through us and is passed down.
-His Glory continues. Verses 16-17
Vrs 16 children loyal children are the fruit of this marriage. Christians make more Christians
The bride is the means by which the King brings birth to royal children. A call to evangelism.
It is easy to determine when something is aflame. It ignites other material. Any fire that does not spread will eventually go out. A church without evangelism is a contradiction in terms, just as a fire that does not burn is a contradiction. Christian Theology in Plain Language
What do you do when your child just does not want to be involved? Explain our purpose.
Vrs 17 How you handle your family situations can cause others to recognize who the Lord is.
Closing Rev 19:6-8
