Christ Is the Foundation of His Throne

Psalm 89:14 - Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Lovingkindness and truth go before You.

Every building has a foundation – a foundation built of solid materials, sturdy enough to support tons upon tons of other building materials. But this text says that the foundation of our Lord’s throne is not a physical foundation of stone, brick, or concrete, but rather it is a foundation of holy character and attributes. Christ’s throne’s foundation is righteousness and justice. Perfect righteousness and perfect justice upholds His throne, and it will never crumble, never age, never crack like earthly foundations. The Lord’s very character upholds His throne, and Himself on that throne. In this text we don’t read that His throne sits on gold or diamonds, but by His character and justice Christ’s throne stands firm. And emanating out from Christ and His ‘righteous’ and ‘just’ foundation, is “lovingkindness” and “truth”, confirming the absolute superiority and authority of Jesus Christ as God. Christ, himself, is the foundation and the throne. Amen!
