Today’s
Thought “Big Baby in the HIGH Chair” G. Ward
Psalm 82
6 I said, “You are gods, and all
of you are sons of the Most High.
To be clear,
God is One (Deut.6:4) and whereas our Lord used this term representative of
leadership HE imposes, promoting earth’s stability, along with everything given
for HIS glory, HE most certainly decides when leaders of sorts’ tenure expire.
Moreover, Holy God’s “all” regarding HIS own is also most assuredly contingent
on followship of HIS directives (we clarify, so as to lend no excuse unto
subverting the Truth of HIS words).
Our Lord
Jesus would quote this Psalm at John 10:34, in the same context of unjust
judgment of HIMSELF as those religious zealots perceived HIM as blasphemous in
declaring HIS deity. Our Lord’s imminent death understood the hearts of all who
sought to stone HIM, to never expound on whether any of these would come to
know HIM as Lord later.
We, in view
of HIS mercies given any, must never (permanently) hold people
hostage to their misgivings, but afford them Truth (*John 14:6) – for our
actions before redemption, were part of gang warfare that too opposed Jesus (1
Cor.6:9-11).
