Keith Simons explores Psalm 45, a beautiful depiction of a royal wedding that symbolizes God's perfect king, the Messiah. He emphasizes the king's beauty, grace, and righteousness, contrasting it with the fleeting beauty of earthly kings. The psalm illustrates the love between the king and his bride, representing God's people, and highlights the eternal nature of the king's rule. Simons encourages listeners to understand the deeper meanings of the psalm, focusing on the themes of love, honor, and divine kingship. Ultimately, the sermon reveals how the Messiah's reign is characterized by righteousness and everlasting glory.

Chuck Smith emphasizes the significance of prophecy as a foundation for faith, illustrating how it foretells events, particularly the rejection of the Messiah by religious leaders. He explains that the stone, representing Christ, is both a source of salvation and a point of judgment, urging believers to recognize the importance of this prophetic fulfillment. The sermon highlights the joy of the day Jesus entered Jerusalem, as well as the sorrow of His rejection, reminding us of the twofold relationship we have with the stone—either we fall upon it in humility or face its crushing weight. Smith encourages the congregation to be alert and informed about God's prophetic timeline.
