“A CROWN OF PURE GOLD” (Ps 21)
“For You meet Him with rich blessings; You place a crown of pure gold on His head.” vs3
The One crowned is Jesus Christ the Lord. He is the King of kings, the One God exalted from the dead, the Savior of sinners. He is the One God has chosen as heir of all things - the Equal with the Father who humbled Himself. It is written, “He is also the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He might come to have first place in everything.” He is the One that we are to worship, as the Father said, “This is My beloved Son. I take delight in Him. Listen to Him (Matt 17:5)!” He is the Prophet that’s greater than Moses, the King greater than David, yet David’s Son, and He is the Great High Priest, our God and Savior.
Worship the Son of God and see Him in Scriptures. He preached Himself, when risen, and the Psalms declare Him. Luke 24:44, “Then He told them, ‘These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you--that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.’” See Him and you’ll see your Savior and eternal life will be in you with power. Trust in Him, not yourself!
Secondly, He is not shaken and unmoveable on His throne of glory. “You give Him blessings forever; You cheer Him with joy in Your presence. For the King relies on the LORD; through the faithful love of the Most High He is not shaken (Ps 21:6-7).” He accomplished all the Father gave Him to do, and now He reigns forever! He has no rival that can touch Him. He suffered. He died the death of the cross, and now He’s waiting until His enemies are His footstool (Ps 110:1). There is nothing in doubt in heaven, even though Satan roars against us on earth! All is settled, Jesus is Lord, and His will shall be perfected!
Find your refuge in Him. Reign with the King, see His purpose as your own, and you will be happy all the day. Nothing can stop us, when we are satisfied with Christ - what He’s done and what He’s doing!
Finally, when Christ comes to punish sin and take account, then all will be put in order! He says, “Though they intend to harm You and devise a wicked plan, they will not prevail. Instead, You will put them to flight when You aim Your bow at their faces (vs11-12).” The wicked will be put in place and utterly perish in His wrath. He says, “You will make them burn like a fiery furnace when You appear; the LORD will engulf them in His wrath, and fire will devour them (Vs9).” He says, “Taking vengeance with flaming fire on those who don’t know God and on those who don’t obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus (2 Thess 1:8).” He will consume them with the fire of His presence, so be warned, and do not fight Him.
The man screaming on the street corner, “Jesus is coming... Wrath is coming”, may be crazy and out of his mind. He may be in a bad or good spirit. Either way, Christ is still coming, and He will surely punish all who do not trust Him. This is not a laughing matter, a game, or a joke. This is the most important thing in all the world.
