Psalm 2:1–6 (NKJV) The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom 1 Why ado the 1nations 2rage, And the people plot a 3vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the brulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His cAnointed, 4saying, 3 “Let dus break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.” 4 He who sits in the heavens eshall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. 5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure: 6 “Yet I have 5set My King 6On My holy hill of Zion.”1 Job 41:11 (NKJV) 11 cWho has preceded Me, that I should pay him? dEverything under heaven is Mine.2 John 19:7–11 (NKJV) 7 The Jews answered him, e“We have a law, and according to 2our law He ought to die, because fHe made Himself the Son of God.” 8 Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid, 9 and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” gBut Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Then Pilate said to Him, “Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have 3power to crucify You, and 3power to release You?” 11 Jesus answered, h“You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore ithe one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”3 John 8:31–34 (NKJV) 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you nabide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the otruth, and pthe truth shall make you free.” 33 They answered Him, q“We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?” 34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, rwhoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 4 Isaiah 61:1 (NKJV) The Good News of Salvation 61 “The aSpirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord bhas anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me cto 1heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim dliberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;5 Ephesians 4:21–24 (NKJV) 21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 that you zput off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and abe renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you bput on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.6 Galatians 5:13–14 (NKJV) 13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only pdo not use liberty as an qopportunity for the flesh, but rthrough love serve one another. 14 For sall the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: t“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 7
