About this sermon
Don Carson discusses his excitement about the concept of Melchizedek, a figure mentioned only two times in the Old Testament and once in the New Testament. Carson discusses the significance of Psalm 110 and its relationship to the Davidic line, highlighting the fact that the scripture identifies Yahweh as the Lord of the Messiah, showing that the Messiah is not inferior to David and does not diminish his importance. Carson discusses the concept of inspiration in the Bible, and his thoughts on the figure of Melchizedek, who is referred to as a priest-king in the Bible. He acknowledges that the concept of a pre-incarnate appearance of the eternal Son and a symbol of the Messiah is complex but of the importance of studying the Bible with care and attention to detail. Watch Don Carson preach Jesus and the gospel from Psalm 110 at The Gospel Coalition's 2011 national conference at McCormick Place in Chicago.
