Psalm 110:1
from Our Saviors Sermons · host Our Savior's Lutheran Church
In Jesus’ name. This is Pastor Michael Lilienthal of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, Albert Lea. Together, let us meditate on and wrestle with God’s Word: Psalm 110:1: The Lord says to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.’ This psalm speaks of Christ. He himself cited it on his way to Jerusalem to die, revealing the mystery that he was David’s Son and David’s Lord, true Man and true God. His glory was hidden in his humility, but would soon be revealed. Moses, in his last book of Deuteronomy, prophesied about the Christ: “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen” (Deut. 18:15). This prophet like Moses only greater would judge instruct his people, judge his people, defeat his enemies, and reign gloriously. And Jesus, in his end-times sermon, describes when he would come and reign, when all his enemies would be his footstool: “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world’” (Matt. 25:31-34). This blessed King and Prophet Jesus would return, reign, and give this beautiful inherited gift. Yes, Jesus describes the works of those on the right, but they themselves didn’t recognize it. They were simply wearing the beautiful robes of dawn that Jesus had provided to them. They were living lives thankful for the free salvation given by this blessed one who stood in the gap between themselves and God, who defeated death for them, who won life for them. Amen. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, forevermore. Amen.
