Jesus as David’s Lord

·        Jesus is also God’s son which means that Jesus is also more than David’s son: He is David’s Lord.

·        Psalm 110:1

·        The Lord says to my lord: “ Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”

Matthew 22:41-46

While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, What do you think about the messiah? Whose son is he?. The son of David, they replied. He said to them, How is it then that David speaking by the spirit calls him Lord”? For he says, “The Lord said to my Lord” Sit at my right hand until I put you enemies under your feet. If then David calls him Lord how can he be his son? No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.
