“He said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. ‘Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your Inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Your possession.” Psalm 2:7-8 (NASB)
Christmas time is a time for singing praises to God for the gift of Jesus. Have you wondered how that got started? Of course we have been looking at the songs the Angels Sang for the shepherds near Bethlehem the night Jesus was born and we sing that Song now. But the song which the angels sang that night was not the first song about the birth of our Savior. Actually the coming of the Savior was mentioned in several of the songs sung long before He came. The New Testament reminds us that some of the Old Testament Psalms had referred to Jesus. Today's we have a verse from Psalm 2. These words and others like them were being sung for years and for many centuries before Jesus came to earth in the form of a human. That's because God had planned long ago to send a Savior. God gave us His Son so that we would have a way to enjoy the inheritance He desires us to have, to be His children.
