However great thy guilt, however enormous thy transgression, if thou art now willing to be reconciled, God has made thee willing, and he would not have put the will if he did not intend to gratify it. There is nothing that can keep thee from Christ if thou art willing to come. Christ casts out none that desire to be saved. There is in his heart enough for all that seek him, enough for each, enough for evermore. Oh! think not that Christ is ever slower than we are. We never love him before he loves us. If our heart loves him, his soul loved us long ago. and if we are now willing to be reconciled to him, let us rest assured that Jehovah's melting heart yearns to clasp his us to his breast. ---Spurgeon on Psalm 2
He also says that the kiss of Psalm 2 has 4 meanings:
1.) Reconciliation ("Jesus, we are at peace.")
2.) Allegiance & homage ("Jesus, I will follow you.")
3.) Worship ("Jesus, you are worthy of all that I am.")
4.) Affection ("Jesus, I love you.")
