A
Devotional Journey Through the Psalms: Psalm 110
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies! Your people shall be volunteers In the day of Your power; In the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the dew of Your youth. The Lord has sworn And will not relent, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek” (Psalm 110:1-4).
Psalm 110 is known as “The Messiah’s Psalm” This Psalm is referenced over 25 times in the New Testament. David Guzik, in his study on Psalm 110, brings these New Testament verses to our attention:
Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called...True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war (Revelation 19:11 NKJV).
Scripture assures us that Jesus Christ is completely true. His words are not idealistic but realistic. He wants the words that He speaks to us to lead us to faith, not to make-believe.
Jesus is true in His words; everything He said can be counted upon.
Jesus is true in His motives; everything He does is for a right and good reason. There is no falsehood or deceit in Him.
Jesus would never trick someone, con them into believing a lie, playact, or speak about fiction as though it were fact. Jesus is 100% genuine.
Jesus is true in His promises, true in His character, and true in His attitudes. He is true in His faithfulness, true in His kindness, and true in His love. His healing is true, His forgiveness is true, His mercy is true, His compassion is true. He is also true in all His judgments. No matter which way you observe Him, everything about Him is true and bears witness to the truth.
Insight: Jesus, our Messiah, is God’s eternal Truth throughout Scripture. His Truth will always remain our solid rock to stand upon, because the Truth never becomes untrue!

- The author of Hebrews quotes it in Hebrews 1:13, referring to the superiority of Jesus the Messiah over any angel.
