Jesus Ascended and Exalted
Psalm 110:1-7
The LORD said to my Lord, Sit you at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.…


In this psalm Jesus is set forth to us as —

I. KING AND PROPHET (vers. 2, 8). The rod of His strength is His Word, even His preached Gospel, accompanied by the power of the Holy Spirit.

II. KING AND PRIEST (ver. 4). Here the people of Jesus are directed to look to Him as the ground of their hope. For it is what He has done, and what He is still doing, for them as their Priest, that must ever be most important to them, as long as they are in their present imperfect and polluted state.

III. KING AND JUDGE (vers. 5, 6; Psalm 2:9; Daniel 2:31-45; Revelation 19:11-16).

(W. Hancock, M.A.)
