Lord • King • God
Psalm 99
Andy Nagahara
1. The Lord is King (1-3)
1 The LORD reigns, let the nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake.
2 Great is the LORD in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations.
3 Let them praise your great and awesome name– he is holy.
2. The King is God (4, 5)
4 The King is mighty, he loves justice– you have established equity; in Jacob you have done what is just and right.
5 Exalt the LORD our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy.
3. God is Lord (6-9)
6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel was among those who called on his name; they called on the LORD and he answered them.
7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them.
8 O LORD our God, you answered them; you were to Israel a forgiving God, though you punished their misdeeds.
9 Exalt the LORD our God and worship at his holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
Summary
Is Jesus really the Lord of your life? Is he the king of our society? Is he the God of our world? Our original sin is our tendency to take away God’s sovereignty. Things that are not God become our gods, people who are not kings become kings, and counterfeit lords become Lord. The restoration of God’s sovereignty and our salvation are two sides of the same coin.
