KISS THE SON

Date : Saturday, February 07, 2026
Passage : Psalm 2:1~12
Keyverse : 12  
1
Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?
2
The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the LORD and against his anointed, saying,
3
"Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles."
4
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the LORD scoffs at them.
5
He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6
"I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain."
7
I will proclaim the LORD’s decree: He said to me, "You are my son; today I have become your father.
8
Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.
9
You will break them with a rod of iron; you will dash them to pieces like pottery."
10
Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11
Serve the LORD with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12
Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
The kings of this world rule as if they could control the world. But in reality, the One enthroned in heaven has power over all things. Jesus destroyed death and is exalted above every name (Ph 2:9).

The author advises us to “kiss the Son” (12). Jesus is our Friend and a personal God who delights in our humble and intimate expressions of thanks and praise (Lk 7:38). At the same time, he is a Mighty God who saves us from our sin and will come in power to judge this world.

As we serve the Lord, let us fear his greatness and rejoice in his victory over death. Let us enjoy the loving kindness and friendship in our relationship with Christ, for, “Blessed are all who take refuge in him” (12).

Prayer: Father, thank you for giving us your Son Jesus to be our Savior and King. Please help me to devote myself to Jesus as my King.
One Word: Kiss the Son, Jesus
