Priest-King (4 of 5)
Series: Christ in the Old Testament
D. Marion Clark
Psalm 110
Introduction
Jesus continues his walk along the Emmaus Road with two of his disciples, interpreting ''to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself'' (Luke 24:27). He is the Offspring of Eve who bruised the head of Satan; he is the Redeemer who delivers his people from a greater bondage than that of Egypt; he is the goat slain on the Day of Atonement and the sacrificial animal of all the temple sacrifices which atone for the people's sins. Today we see how he fulfills the image that most captured the Jewish imagination and stirred hope in their hearts.

It was David who fulfilled the ideal of a godly king ruling over God's people in justice and leading them to worship and to follow their Lord God.
Of particular significance is the covenant promise made to David by God. David had wanted to build a temple for the ark of the covenant. He inquired about it to Nathan, God's prophet. Nathan at first okayed the plan, but then received a message from God to deliver to David. The king was not to proceed. That task would be given to his son to act on. But there was another matter in the message which was of vital importance to David and to all of Israel ever since. God said to David through Nathan, ''Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne sh ...
