Psa 2:12 | MHM | STEP | v. 12 : We are told to welcome and submit to Jesus Christ. The command is, Kiss the Son . Christ is called the Son because God said, You are my Son (Psalm 2:7 ). He is the Son of God and the Son of Man (John 5:27 ). To kiss the Son means to make peace with him, to worship him, to love him sincerely, and to be loyal to him. We should not be like Judas, who kissed Jesus to betray him, but instead show true faith and love (Luke 7:38 ). We must also submit to Christ as our King, just as Samuel kissed Saul to show loyalty (1 Samuel 10:1 ). If we refuse Christ, we risk his anger and our own destruction. The Bible warns, Kiss the Son, lest he be angry . If we reject him, both the Father’s and the Son’s wrath remain on us (John 3:36 ). Christ is the only way to God, so if we turn away from him, we lose the way to happiness (Psalm 1:6 ). Even those who seem close to God can miss out if they do not accept Christ. But if we trust in Christ, we will be blessed. Even a little of his anger is enough to make sinners miserable, but those who trust in him will be safe and happy. On the day of God’s wrath, those who have made Christ their refuge will rejoice, while others will be afraid. In the end, everyone will see that blessed are all those who trust in him (Psalm 2:12 ). When we sing or pray these words, we should feel both respect for God and confidence in Christ. Through Jesus, we can encourage ourselves and others. As the Bible says, We are the circumcision, that rejoice in Christ Jesus .

‏ Psalms 2:12

v. 12: We are told to welcome and submit to Jesus Christ. The command is, Kiss the Son. Christ is called the Son because God said, You are my Son (Psalm 2:7 ^a). He is the Son of God and the Son of Man (John 5:27 ^b). To kiss the Son means to make peace with him, to worship him, to love him sincerely, and to be loyal to him. We should not be like Judas, who kissed Jesus to betray him, but instead show true faith and love (Luke 7:38 ^c). We must also submit to Christ as our King, just as Samuel kissed Saul to show loyalty (1 Samuel 10:1 ^d).

If we refuse Christ, we risk his anger and our own destruction. The Bible warns, Kiss the Son, lest he be angry. If we reject him, both the Father’s and the Son’s wrath remain on us (John 3:36 ^e). Christ is the only way to God, so if we turn away from him, we lose the way to happiness (Psalm 1:6 ^f). Even those who seem close to God can miss out if they do not accept Christ.

But if we trust in Christ, we will be blessed. Even a little of his anger is enough to make sinners miserable, but those who trust in him will be safe and happy. On the day of God’s wrath, those who have made Christ their refuge will rejoice, while others will be afraid. In the end, everyone will see that blessed are all those who trust in him (Psalm 2:12 ^g).

When we sing or pray these words, we should feel both respect for God and confidence in Christ. Through Jesus, we can encourage ourselves and others. As the Bible says, We are the circumcision, that rejoice in Christ Jesus.
