Text: Psalm 132
In this sermon, we will look at Psalm 132, which at first glance seems to wander around, but as we dig into the Psalm, we cant help but think of the beginning of the Westminster Shorter Catechism's first question. What is the chief end of man?
The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.
In this Psalm, we see an arc of glorifying God, culminating in all of God's people enjoying that glory. Two promises are made in this Psalm that only make sense in light of Christ: that a son of David would sit on his throne forever, and that David would be glorified. As we work our way through this Psalm, we will see how Christ glorifies his Father, how our salvation allows us to do likewise, and how, in Him, we can enjoy God's glory every day.
