The Family Meeting 

Text: Psalm 2:7

The Godhead. This revelation is difficult for the human mind to understand. One God, three persons. Some people, in an attempt to understand, describe the Godhead as a family. Though I am uncomfortable with this description, I do believe there are eternal decrees of God and so in a sense, in eternity past—a family meeting occurred. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit discussing the creation of humanity, its rebellion and its redemption. Apparently, a plan was set in place. God the Son was going to redeem the world. 

I will tell of the decree: The Lord said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you.” (Psalm 2:7)

The context of this verse is kingship, specifically the promise that a descendant of David, the son of David, will reign forever. This is Jesus. He is the son of David. He is the Son of God. Now we know a Son is coming, leaving His divine home, to secure a future home for us.
