Every once in a while there comes along an opportunity that is so fabulous that it is too good to pass up. However, such opportunities often require us to give up all our other options and put all our eggs in one basket. In Matthew 13:44-46, Jesus told two very short parables about the kingdom of heaven. In each parable, a man seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, giving up everything for the sake of gaining very much more.
Although the nations are constantly in rebellion against the Lord, he has established his Son as King over the whole world.
Although the first anointed king tried to kill the second one, the Lord protected his anointed, as he always does.
The imprecatory (cursing) psalms point to the triumph of God’s justice through judgment or salvation.
