Psalm 21:1-13 The king shall joy in your strength, O LORD; and in your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!… I. LOOK AT OUR KING AS HAVING ACCOMPLISHED SALVATION. But few Christians believe in a salvation finished, perfected. The salvation in Christ Jesus is complete; there is not an iota more to pay, not a single act of meritorious obedience left to perform, and not an enemy to combat but He has engaged to vanquish. Look at the manner in which He accomplishes this salvation. 1. By His suretyship and substitution. 2. By His atonement. 3. The entire labour is exclusively His own. II. OUR GLORIOUS KING INVESTED WITH KINGLY POWER TO DISPENSE SALVATION. 1. By His victories. 2. By application. III. THE KING REJOICING IN GOD'S SALVATION, SEEING THE TROPHIES OF IT BROUGHT IN AND BROUGHT HOME. My soul seems in an ecstasy of thought in the contemplation of this. Precious Christ! It is all Thine own — all Thy work from first to last. (Joseph Irons.)
