Psalm 24
Concise Complete
Concerning the kingdom of Christ, and the subjects of that kingdom. (1-6)
Concerning the King of that kingdom. (7-10)
Verses 1-6 We
ourselves are not our own; our bodies, our souls, are not. Even those of the
children of men are God's, who know him not, nor own their relation to him. A
soul that knows and considers its own nature, and that it must live for ever,
when it has viewed the earth and the fulness thereof, will sit down unsatisfied.
It will think of ascending toward God, and will ask, What shall I do, that I may
abide in that happy, holy place, where he makes his people holy and happy? We
make nothing of religion, if we do not make heart-work of it. We can only be
cleansed from our sins, and renewed unto holiness, by the blood of Christ and
the washing of the Holy Ghost. Thus we become his people; thus we receive
blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of our salvation. God's
peculiar people shall be made truly and for ever happy. Where God gives
righteousness, he designs salvation. Those that are made meet for heaven, shall
be brought safe to heaven, and will find what they have been seeking.
Verses 7-10 The
splendid entry here described, refers to the solemn bringing in of the ark into
the tent David pitched for it, or the temple Solomon built for it. We may also
apply it to the ascension of Christ into heaven, and the welcome given to him
there. Our Redeemer found the gates of heaven shut, but having by his blood made
atonement for sin, as one having authority, he demanded entrance. The angels
were to worship him,
hebrews 1:6 : they ask
with wonder, Who is he? It is answered, that he is strong and mighty; mighty in
battle to save his people, and to subdue his and their enemies. We may apply it
to Christ's entrance into the souls of men by his word and Spirit, that they may
be his temples. Behold, he stands at the door, and knocks,
3:20. The gates and doors of
the heart are to be opened to him, as possession is delivered to the rightful
owner. We may apply it to his second coming with glorious power. Lord, open the
everlasting door of our souls by thy grace, that we may now receive thee, and be
wholly thine; and that, at length, we may be numbered with thy saints in glory.
