Steven Lee
Pastor for Preaching & Vision

0:16Well, good morning and welcome. We're glad you're here this morning. If you're a regular, we're really glad you're here. I know it's the start of Sunday school, so I hear the buzz in the hallways. And then if you're new among us, maybe this is your first time, or you've visited us a few times over the summer, we're really glad you're here with us this morning. My name is Stephen. I'm the pastor for preaching and vision here, and it's my joy to be able to guide us as we look at God's word. Would you join me as we pray?

0:50Father in heaven, we come to ask for your help, so incline our hearts to you and to your word. Open our eyes so that we would see wondrous things here in this passage. Unite our hearts to fear your name, and would you use this word to satisfy us this morning with your steadfast love. We pray this in Jesus' precious name, which we've sung about all morning. Amen.

1:23In the summer of 1966, there was a man named Doug Nichols, and he was working with a missions organization called Operation Mobilization. How many of you have heard of that before? A number of you. They were in London, and late one evening, past midnight, he was sweeping the steps of the conference center, and they were hosting their annual conference the very next day. And so past midnight, maybe 1:00 a.m., a very simply dressed man arrived with a small bag, and Nichols asked if he was attending the conference, and the man said, "Yes, I am." And so he didn't recognize him as anyone particularly important, and so he put him in a room with 50 other people where he could sleep on the floor. And he found him some padding, a blanket, and the man hadn't eaten all day, and so he dug up some cornflakes and milk and bread.

2:19Breakfast of champions, I guess, for a midnight snack. And the man received it without any complaints. And the next morning, Nichols is talking with some of the conference organizers, and he learned that the person he put on the floor the night before was none other than Francis Schaeffer. He was the keynote speaker for the whole conference. If you don't know who Francis Schaeffer is, he was, in that time, one of the most influential Christian pastors, evangelists, apologists, and he was also the founder of L'Abri in Switzerland. Nichols failed to recognize the significance of the man that stood right before him, and that's what we get in our passage here this morning. The Pharisees fail to recognize the significance of Jesus, and they fail to see his true identity.

3:15They're blind to who he is and what he has come to do. Now, for the visitors and guests, we've been preaching through Matthew's Gospel. It's taken us, I don't know, two years so far, and we're making our way through, and we slowed way down in chapter 21 and 22 to see Jesus' final week of life. The triumphal entry already came, and Jesus has been tested by these Pharisees and Sadducees. They brought tricks and riddles and trying to get him to incriminate himself. But Jesus, time and again, has amazed them and confounded them with his wisdom. And what they've been trying to do is show that Jesus is a false teacher.

4:00Now, in our passage, Jesus turns the tables on the Pharisees, and he gives a question of his own. And in so doing, he ends up showing that he's the supreme teacher, and he possesses divine wisdom. And so the main point of our passage is this. Jesus is not only the Messiah, he's not only the son of David, he's not only the Christ, but Jesus is the very Son of God. Jesus is God in the flesh. He doesn't say it, but it's implied, and we'll see that's exactly what he means. Jesus is no longer veiling his identity, but he's taking that veil off so that his enemies and opposition would see who he truly is.

4:57And the aim of this passage is to remind Jesus' disciples, despite what is to come, his arrest, his betrayal, his suffering and torture, crucifixion, Jesus is God in the flesh, who will rise once again, be seated on his throne, and rule and reign for all eternity. This is probably one of the most wonderful and profound passages we find in Matthew's Gospel, and I could probably say that about every passage in Matthew's Gospel, but we'll say it about this one. So I want to walk through this passage in three questions. Three questions for us this morning. First, who is the Messiah? I think Jesus answers that or asks that question in 41 and 42.

5:43And then, who is the Lord of Psalm 110 in verses 43 to 46? And then third, how do we then respond to Jesus this morning? So who is the Messiah? Look with me at verses 41 and 42. If you're new among us, we like to keep our Bibles before us so that I can point to it, and we want you to see these things in the scriptures yourself. So listen as I read Matthew 22, verse 41 and 42. "Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, saying, 'What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?' And they said to him, 'The son of David.'" Like we saw last week, the Pharisees are gathered together. It's a little bit of an echo of Psalm 2:2.

6:32They're trying to entrap Jesus, and Jesus has confounded them time and time again. And so Jesus says, "What do you think about the Christ or the Messiah? Whose son is he?" This is a critical question, one of the most significant questions in Judaism. And the Jews had all of these Messianic expectations. Who will be the Messiah? From where will he come from? Because that's what all the Jews were waiting for. We're waiting for this Messiah who's going to come and liberate us from Rome. Now consider several Old Testament passages where they get these Messianic expectations. The first is 2 Samuel 7.

7:16I'm going to look at verses 12 to 16. You can just listen, or you can turn there if you want. 2 Samuel 7, God is speaking to King David through the prophet Nathan. And he says, "When your days are fulfilled," King David, "and you lie down with your fathers," so when you die, "I will raise up your offspring after you," so you're going to have a descendant, "who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom." So God is saying to King David, "You're going to have a descendant who's going to sit on the throne." But that would've been expected. The king's son would be the prince, and he would later become the king.

7:53But he goes on. In verse 13 to 16, he says, "And I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever." Pay attention to that word forever. "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. My steadfast love will not depart from him. Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be established forever." So God is going to give David a descendant who's going to sit on his throne forever. This is an everlasting kingdom. And so he's not speaking about Solomon, David's son. He's speaking about the Messiah or the Christ, the one who is to come. That's where they get their Messianic expectations from.

8:41We're expecting this king, like David, who's going to come and rule and reign forever. It's a military leader that's going to liberate them. Now, just listen to several more passages as I briefly move through them. Psalm 89:3-4 says, "I have sworn to David my servant, 'I will establish your offspring forever and build your throne for all generations.'" So we get this unqualified eternal kingdom language and this eternal king. Or Isaiah 9:6-7, which we read at Christmas often. "For to us a child is born. To us a son is given on the throne of David and over his kingdom forevermore." Or Isaiah 11 This one that is to come will be a shoot from the stump of Jesse, or Jeremiah 23:5.

9:30"I will raise up for David a righteous branch, and he shall reign as king." So the Jews anticipated a human descendant from King David who would usher in victory and peace and liberate them from Rome. So this is the background for Jesus' question. And how do they respond to him? Look at verse 42. They said to him, "The Son of David." This is their answer, and this is the expected answer, and it's not wrong. The Messiah or the Christ would indeed be the son of David, a descendant of King David. In those days, they would've kept very strict, clear genealogical records that would be stored up in the temple, and so they would know all the various descendants from King David, and that's what Matthew has shown throughout his gospel. If you've been with us through this entire series, just listen.

10:26Matthew 1:1, we have the genealogy of Jesus Christ. Who? The son of David. Or Matthew 1:20, we're told Joseph is the son of David. He's from the tribe of Judah. Or Matthew 9:27, two blind men cry out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David." Happens again in Matthew 20 or Matthew 12:23. The people are amazed, and they're asking, "Can this be the son of David?" In other words, can this be the Messiah? Can this be the Christ? Is this the king that we've been waiting for? Or Matthew 15:22, the Canaanite woman cries out, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David." Or the triumphal entry. The people cry out, "Hosanna to the Son of David." So Matthew's gospel has been telling us that Jesus is indeed the Messiah. He's the Christ.

11:21His genealogy reveals that identity, and then all the cries of the people confirm that identity, and this is good, but it's ultimately insufficient. It's not enough. The Pharisees and the Sadducees have been trying to confound Jesus, trick him, give him riddles in order to show you're not actually the Christ. There would've been thousands of various descendants from David, maybe hundreds of thousands, and so they're trying to show him, "You're actually a false teacher." And every single time, Jesus has shown that the Pharisees and the Sadducees don't know their Bibles. So who's the Messiah? The crowds say, "It might be Jesus."

12:03And the Pharisees say, "Well, it's a descendant of David. It's probably not you, and we're trying to show that." And yet this is correct, but ultimately inadequate. So we come now to verses 43 to 46. Who is the Lord of Psalm 110? So listen as I read 43 to 46. And so Jesus said to them, "How is it then that David in the Spirit calls him Lord, saying, 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet."'? If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?" If you have a Bible in front of you, you will probably notice that verse 44 in your Bible sits kind of set apart from the rest, and that's just to show us that this is a quotation of Psalm 110:1. Now, let me encourage you to turn in your Bibles to Psalm 110. I want us to see this.

13:07So Psalm 110. Psalms is kind of a big book in the very middle of your Bible, middle front, if you will. So turn to Psalm 110, and right after the title, which are not inspired, there's usually a little inscription, and the inscriptions are part of the original. And what does it say there? It says, "A Psalm of David." A Psalm of David. So it reveals King David's authorship, and I think Jesus is affirming Davidic authorship here. Now, Psalm 110:1 reads, "The Lord says to my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.'" So very similar, almost the exact wording. It's probably quoting from the Greek translation.

13:54And now I want you to notice in verse one there, the very first Lord. Some of you might need to pull out your bifocals at this point. I want you to see this. L-O-R-D, it's capitalized there, so this is the original Hebrew word for Yahweh. It refers to God Almighty. The second Lord there is not capitalized. This would've been Adonai, or in the New Testament, it's translated Kyrios. So it can refer to deity, but it can also refer to sir or respected kind of teacher, a respected address. Now, Psalm 110 has King David writing this, and he's saying, "The Lord, Yahweh," says to someone that he addresses as, "My Lord." So not himself, but someone else that David would address as my Lord, and then he says to that individual, "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool."

14:53Now, sitting at the right hand of God is this high, exalted place of influence and of power. So this individual is going to conquer all of their enemies, and the assumption is that this is a Davidic or a Messianic Psalm, that this individual is speaking about the Messiah. If you look further down in Psalm 110, look at verse two. At the very end of verse two, it says, "This individual is going to rule in the midst of your enemies." And then look to verse five. "This individual will shatter kings on the day of His wrath." And then verse six, "He's going to execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses.

15:34He will shatter chiefs over the wide earth." So the picture of Psalm 110 is that this individual is going to have rule and reign over the entire world, all nations, over the wide earth, and he's going to sit at the right hand of the Father. Now, before we look at Jesus' argument here, let's just kind of explore what would the Jews have said Psalm 110 is about. Well, the Jews would've said maybe this is about David. Maybe it's a court scribe that's actually writing it, and so the my Lord is actually referring to David. But we know that's not the case because David never sat at God's right hand. He never exercised worldwide dominion.

16:17He wasn't considered a priest in the order of Melchizedek, which is in verse four. And others would say maybe it's Abraham, but the same criticisms could be made about him. So Jesus' question is, how can King David call the Messiah, who's going to be his son, his descendant, how can he address him as my Lord? That's the logic of Jesus' question. How can King David, who wrote Psalm 110, say that the Messiah is both going to be his inferior, his descendant, and his superior, someone he addresses as my Lord? So this is a very technical argument. Now, I want you to see one more thing. Back in Matthew chapter 22, David writes in the Spirit. Do you see that? Verse 43. David in the Spirit.

17:07In Mark's version, it says, "In the Holy Spirit." So this is through the inspiration of the third person of the triune God, and in Acts 2:30 even says that David is a prophet. In other words, he's writing something that is infallible. When he was writing Psalm 110, it was to be scripture. He's inspired by the Holy Spirit to write it exactly this way. So the question comes back to how can the Messiah simultaneously be the son of David, a descendant of King David, a human descendant of King David, and be someone that David addresses as my Lord, meaning he's far superior, perhaps even divine? The answer to that is not given to us in our passage.

17:53In verse 46, it says, "No one else was able to answer him a word." It's kind of just left hanging in the air. But the implied answer is very clear from Matthew's Gospel. This is implying that the Messiah will be divine and will be the Son of God. He's going to be man and God. Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the son of David, and he will be the Son of God. Listen to how Martin Luther explains this passage. He says, "Sit," says God to this individual. "Not at my feet, not over my head, but next to me, as high as I sit." But sitting next to God, what else is that than being also God? For God is so jealous for his honor that as he said himself in Isaiah 42:8, he will give it to no other. And yet here, says the psalmist, sits one who is like him. From this it follows that he must be God.

18:57So Jesus elevates the concept of the Messiah as not just this human Davidic king who's coming to rule and to reign, but this one who is coming that we've been waiting for, that the Jews ought to be longing for, is God himself in the flesh, come to rule and reign forever. He will sit at the right hand of the Father, be equal to him, and rule and reign forever and establish a kingdom that will never end. And so, how do we know this is the case? How do we know that that's actually what Jesus means? Because he doesn't give the answer in our passage, does he? Back in Matthew 16, Jesus poses a question to Simon Peter, and he says, "Who do you say that I am?"

19:49Most important question in the world. "Who do you say that I am?" And what does Peter say? "You are the Christ, the Messiah." And then how does he follow it up? "The son of the living God." You're divine. You've been sent by God. You're God in the flesh. You're God incarnate. I'm going to try to illustrate this with a very imperfect illustration. How many of you are college football fans? Okay, not very many. This may fall flat. That's okay.

20:23There's a football family with the last name Manning. There's Peyton Manning, there's Eli Manning, and then their father is Archie Manning. They were all professional NFL football players. Peyton Manning won two Super Bowls. Eli Manning won two Super Bowls, and you could make an argument, you could wrestle with which one of them is the greatest Manning of all time, right? Maybe Peyton, he played two years longer. Eli beat that Patriots team that was going for an undefeated season. So you could kind of make an argument. But the forgotten Manning brother, Cooper, had a son, and his son, Arch Manning, is now playing for Texas.

21:05And what if he goes on to have this illustrious NFL career, wins six Super Bowls? Actually, no, he wins seven, he dethrones Tom Brady as the GOAT, and he becomes the greatest Manning of all time. In a sense, you could say, well, Peyton and Eli would then look at Arch and say, "He's the GOAT." He's the greatest that ever came, not only from our family, but of all time. That's a little bit of the sense in which David, King David, the greatest king ever to rule and to reign, the anointed one, the one that wrote so many of our psalms, and it was a man after God's own heart, the greatest king that Israel ever had, the one who ruled and reigned, that everyone points back to and says, "We're waiting for someone like him," the Davidic King.

21:52He looks forward and he says, "But this one is so much greater than me." And this is where the illustration breaks down, because David is to bow and worship the one that is to come. So Matthew has shown that Jesus is not just the son of David, but he's the Son of God. In the baptism of Jesus, a voice comes from heaven, and what does it say? "This is my beloved Son." Not my beloved Messiah, Christ, Davidic King. Son. In the Transfiguration, same thing. "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." Or the confession in Matthew 16, "Son of the living God." So this text reveals that the Messiah is not just going to be a man, not just a king, not just a descendant from David, but this Messiah will be God himself. And this is a massive roadblock for so many, because every single offshoot from Christianity, every single cult, and every single other false religion in the world denies that Jesus is God, denies the Trinity.

23:08This stands at the very central place of our faith. So Psalm 110 reveals God the Father speaking to God the Son through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. You see the triune God at work. People say, "Well, there's no Trinity in the Bible." Well, there you have it, Father, Son, and Spirit, united in their work in redemptive history. Look at verse 46, "And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions." End of discussion. This is the mic drop if there ever was one. Jesus leaves them speechless. They cannot go toe-to-toe with him. He confounds them once again with his wisdom.

24:02So Jesus argues from Psalm 110:1 that David, inspired by the Spirit as a prophet of God, wrote about the Messiah, and it reveals that though the Messiah is David's descendant, he's going to be superior to King David, and he will actually be God himself. So now we come to our third and final section. How do we respond to Jesus this morning? That's the critical question. Who do you say that I am? Who is Jesus to you this morning, and how do you respond to him? How you answer those two questions determines everything. Everything. It's the most significant question that you can wrestle with this morning, especially if you don't know Jesus.

24:46If you come in and you're exploring Christianity and you're wondering, "I don't know. Should I get more involved? Should I learn more?" How you answer those questions is critical. So I want us to see three things from this passage, three applications. The first is to see the divine identity of Jesus. See the divine identity of Jesus. The Pharisees viewed Jesus as an obstacle to their power and to their influence. The crowds saw Jesus as a good teacher and a miracle worker. Actually, in Mark's parallel passage of this, it says, "The crowds gladly heard him." Oh, that was interesting. Tell us another one.

25:35Rome saw Jesus as a threat to their power. How do we view Jesus? In Judaism, Jesus is a historical teacher, a failed Messiah. He was not divine. He was never resurrected, and he's just a footnote in their history. The sad reality is that Jews still right now are waiting for their Messiah. Or in Islam, Jesus is a prophet. He's a messenger, but they reject his divinity. They reject the Trinity. He was not God. He was never crucified. Someone stole him off the cross. In Hinduism, Jesus is a holy man, a yogi, perhaps this manifestation of the divine, but he's not God in the flesh. He's not the center of faith. Or in Buddhism, they make no claims about Jesus at all because they don't believe in a creator.

26:28Maybe he was an enlightened person who reincarnated from something else because he lived such a good life prior. Jehovah Witnesses hold Jesus to be created, not divine, not equal or eternal with God. They deny the bodily resurrection. Or Mormons hold Jesus to be divine but separate from the Father, denying the triune God. You can see how everyone else gets Jesus wrong. And sadly, many make the same fatal mistake today. Not long ago, the host of one of the most popular, I think it's the number one podcast in the world, or in the United States at least, most popular podcast, sat down with a Christian apologist to discuss Christianity.

27:20And near the end of the discussion, here's what the podcast host said. He said, "So if you do live like a Christian and you do follow the principles of Christ, you will have a richer, more love-filled life." And then later at another interview, he said, "Christianity in particular is the most fascinating to me because there's this one person that everyone agrees existed, that somehow or another had the best plan for how human beings should interact with each other and behave." Yet this podcast host, to him, Jesus is merely a good teacher, a moral example. He does not say that he's God, and he certainly does not say, "I need to surrender my life, bow the knee," confess that he is God.

28:12And so Matthew reveals that Jesus is not only the one who possesses divine wisdom, not only the one who can confound all his enemies, not just the Davidic king, not just the Messiah and the Christ, but this is God himself. And if that's true this morning, it means that we, as his creatures, as his creation, need to believe and surrender and obey. Do we see the divine identity of Jesus? Do we see his glory? Jesus invites us to recognize who he is and what he's come to do. Second application, eagerly anticipate Jesus' rule and reign. Eagerly anticipate Jesus' rule and reign. Did you know that Psalm 110 is the most quoted Psalm in all of the New Testament?

29:10Most quoted Psalm in all of the New Testament. I was surprised to read that because of my unfamiliarity with Psalm 110. Yet the New Testament authors cite it often to highlight Jesus' victory and exaltation. Jesus will rise again, be seated at the right hand of the Father, and he's waiting right now for his enemies to be put as a footstool under his feet. And when the New Testament writers cite an Old Testament text, and they just cite one verse, they often have the whole passage in view, like the wider context. So it's like saying, "Fourscore and seven years ago." I'm not just quoting some random line out of nowhere.

29:58That's from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and the Battle of Gettysburg. Or a single line might call to mind an entire event, like, "Houston, we have a problem," Apollo 13. Or, "May the odds be ever in your favor." The younger people know this one, Hunger Games, this dystopian future. So when Jesus quotes Psalm 110:1, "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool," it's calling to mind the entire Psalm and what it's pointing to, that Jesus is being established as the one who is going to uphold this forever kingdom. He will be exalted, greatly exalted, and be victorious over all of his enemies. And so this verse captures the reality that right now, this morning, Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he's ruling and reigning through his people. Peter cites it at Pentecost, just before Stephen's martyrdom. He looks into heaven, and what does he see?

31:05Jesus at the right hand of the Father. Paul cites it in Romans 8, that Jesus is interceding for us right now, and the reason he's interceding, because he has direct access to the Father. He's right next to him. He just leans over and says, "Yahweh, Lord, Father, help them." Or in Revelation 3:21, Jesus promises, "The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne." That's an amazing promise this morning. To those who are in Christ. Ephesians actually speaks this way. It says, "We are right now already seated with Christ in the heavenly places." But Jesus says, "To those who conquer, they will sit with me."

31:56And who will be under our feet? All of our enemies. And so this truth gives us hope this morning. Is there a wrong that needs to be made right? Is there an injustice that has so far gone unpunished? Is there some persistent evil and suffering that seems to go unnoticed? Is there some betrayal or cruelty or exploitation where justice seems elusive? It's easy to read the news and to grow very, very discouraged. Why does violence flourish and justice go ignored? And perhaps some of us are even praying this morning, "How long, O Lord? How long?" And yet Psalm 110 reminds us of a reality that has already begun in the rule and reign of King Jesus.

32:48He is seated at the right hand of his Father, and he is unfolding his plan for human history to bring about perfect justice in his rule and reign over all of his enemies. So take heart this morning, brothers and sisters. Whatever you're facing, whatever injustice floats out there, Jesus is coming to exercise his good rule, perfect justice, and fierce judgment. And third and final application, we are to love and worship Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Love and worship Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We see the Pharisees are stunned silent. They can't reply to Jesus anymore. The crowds heard him gladly. Neither response is sufficient.

33:41Silence or glad listening falls short of what is required. How should we respond this morning if we truly see Jesus as God in the flesh? I think it would be reminiscent of Isaiah 6. He falls on his face in the temple of the glory of God, and he says, "Woe is me, a man of unclean lips, and I dwell with a people of unclean lips." This is the right response, is to bow down and worship Jesus, who is our King, our Lord, and our Savior. I have one final question I'm going to ask us. Have you ever wondered, in the flow of chapter 22, we saw four confrontations. This is the fourth. Jesus has gone back and forth with the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Why does Jesus ask this question?

34:32They've asked him three different questions. He gets one chance. Why does he ask this question? Why does he go to this verse versus any others? I think this one confrontation and this one question, this one truth transforms how we read everything else that has just come before. So the passage right before this, Jesus said the greatest commandment is what? "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your strength or soul."

35:07And then he says, "Love your neighbor as yourself." Jesus doesn't say, "Love me because I am God." And before that, he says, "Give to Caesar that which is Caesar's and give to God that which is God's." He doesn't say, "Give to me." And then with the resurrection question, he says, "God is God of the living and not of the dead." He doesn't say, "I am the resurrection and the life," but he does later. Now, consider with me a few chapters later. In Matthew 26, there's a woman who comes to Jesus. She brings an alabaster jar of very, very, very, very expensive ointment, and she breaks it open, and she pours it all over his head and anoints him.

35:46And what does Jesus say? He doesn't say, "Stop, stop, stop. Don't do that. You're only supposed to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. Don't do that to me." And even his disciples are starting to get indignant. "Jesus, that could've been sold for a lot of money." Not because they cared about the poor. Judas wanted to pocket some of that money. Jesus doesn't stop this woman's lavish display of love. What does he say? "What she has done will be remembered forever." Why? "Because I'm God." What she is doing is precisely what I'm calling for. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.

36:29Because Jesus is Lord, and how we love Christ and love his church, the bride of Christ, is how we indeed love God. And so Jesus is now revealing for the crowds, for the Pharisees, and for the Sadducees, "I said, 'Love the Lord your God.' It's love me because I am God. Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and now render to me all that belongs to me, which is everything. I am the one who upholds the entire world with the word of my power." He was present in creation, and he upholds us right now. He sustains us. He gives us every single beat of our heart and every breath that emerges from our mouth. And so this morning, Jesus reveals that he is the divine Savior. He is the Lord, and he is not only the son of David, but he's the Son of God. May we worship rightly. Let's pray.

37:31Father, we thank you for your Word. We thank you for Jesus making it abundantly clear. He's not just one more prophet in a long line of prophets, but this is God himself. And so enliven our hearts this morning that we would worship and bow down to Jesus rightly, falling on our faces, declaring him Lord, giving him all of our love and devotion. And we pray that even now, those who have not yet bowed the knee, oh, that they would bow the knee and confess with their tongue that Jesus Christ is Lord. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.
