Psalm 2: You are my Son; today I have begotten you

Rev. David Juhl of Our Savior Lutheran Church, Momence, IL joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study Psalm 2. Who has the authority?  The nations or the LORD?  One of the more humbling words in all of Scripture, “He who sits in the heavens laughs.”  This Psalm reminds us that He has all authority and power, yet He does not use that authority to “lord it over us”, but to give us His peace.  Use this Psalm for our elected officials, especially during an election campaign.  He has set the King on Zion, his holy hill and we can take refuge in Him.  “Lord God, You have begotten the Son to be our Prophet, priest, and King with all authority.  Help us to take refuge and serve You as You have taken the wrath of our sin.  In Christ, Amen”
