Read Psalm 2. In a paragraph, explain how this psalm describes the Messiah and Jesus Christ.

In Psalms 2:2, it speaks of God's anointed - which is referring to the Messiah. This verse is applied to Jesus is Matthew 16:16, Acts 4:24 - 30 and in Acts 13:33. 
Psalms 2:7 and Psalms 2:12 speak of God's son. These scriptures are applied to Jesus in Matthew 3:17, Matthew 17:5, Romans 1:4, Hebrews 1:5 and Hebrews 5:5

Psalm 2 has no author given nor title to explain its context or use, though it was doubtless used in ancient Judaism to refer to the Davidic king, perhaps at the enthronement of a new king. However, the New Testament reads it as speaking far beyond any earthly monarch. The relationship to the Messiah and Yahweh described in this psalm is far closer than could be said of any Davidic king prior to Christ.
