What Say Ye Of the Eternal Union?

“I have set the LORD always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved” (Psalm 16:8)

The 16^th Psalm concerns Christ:

Peter declared of this psalm – (Acts 2:29-31) – “Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, He would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that His soul was not left in hell, neither His flesh did see corruption”.

He went on to say – (Acts 2:36) – “…God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both LORD and Christ.”

Paul quoted this psalm, while preaching Christ – (Acts 13:38) – “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins”.

We might profitably make application of verse 8 to ourselves, but David spoke of the union between the Father and the Son. Even in Christ’s incarnation:

The union is perpetual – “I have set the LORD always before me” – God would cease to be God, if the eternal union could cease to exist.

The union is powerful – “because He is at my right hand” – Typically speaking, the “right hand” is the position of authority, dominion and power.

The union is preserving – “I shall not be moved” – The Father wasn’t moved from His purpose to save. The Son wasn’t moved from His obedience unto death.
