Proclamation:
“Sing to The Lord a new song, for He has
done marvelous things … The Lord has made His salvation known and revealed His
righteousness to the nations.” Psalm
98:1-2 (NIV)
Explanation:
This psalm is thought to have been written
by King David under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God as a prophecy of
the coming Messiah. He presents the
celebration of His second arrival (Psalm 98:4-8) and the purpose of His coming,
which is to judge the people of the world. (Psalm 98:9)
Application:
The second coming of Christ gives us a
second reason to sing the song, “Joy To The World.” When The Lord comes we will enjoy new
benefits, new blessings, and a new complete salvation, and therefore we will
sing a new song unto The Lord. Everyone
in heaven will not sing the same song because everyone will not go through the
same thing to get there. The angels will
not sing the same songs that the tribulation saints will sing. (Revelation
7:9-14) The Lord has made His salvation
known through the gospel, and through the ministers who preach it. However, it is The Holy Spirit of God
convicts, convinces, and converts the hearts of those who hear The Word of
God. Salvation is available to all, but
only those who believe will be saved. (John 3:16 and Romans 10:9)
