• Shead speaks on Psalm 110. The Psalm consists of two prophetic oracles to a future king and successor of David. To sit at the right hand of God involves ruling alongside God. Verses 2-3 provide clarification on the rule prophesised in verse 1. God will subjugate the enemies of the king, enabling him with to rule with power, and equipped with a formidable force to carry out his rule. Psalm 110 reveals David's reflections on God's promise to him regarding a successor king who will reign forever. David's life reflected Melchizedek's role as both priest and king. Melchizedek has established a precedent to rule as king who mediates between God and His people. The eternal reign of the king would also see one who forever ministered before God. On behalf of the chosen king, God crushes rebellious kings and peoples throughout the earth. Worldly rulers will be replaced by the rule of the eternal king. Jesus ultimately fulfils the expectations of the king described in Psalm 110. Jesus' work of salvation was accomplished on the Cross, yet His work and reign continue today. With an understanding of Jesus' power and rule, Shead encourages listeners to be encouraged and refreshed in our faith and trust in Jesus.
