David's Son
Then Jesus said, "Why do people say that the Christ is the
Son of David? In the book of Psalms, David himself says: 'The
Lord (God) said to my Lord (Christ): Sit by me at my right
side, and I will put your enemies under your power.' David
calls the Christ 'Lord.' But the Christ is also the son of
David. How can both these things be true?"
-- Luke 20:41-44 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
As Jesus' opponents repeatedly tried to "trip him up" with their
religious questioning, Jesus turns the tables on them and asks them a
question. As a descendant of King David, Jesus could claim to be
David's son. But, as Jesus points out using their own means of
interpretation, David also calls the Messiah his LORD! How can this be
so? Of course Jesus is not only taking part in religious banter, he is
also trying to jolt them out of their steadfast desire to get rid of
him and open their eyes to see who it is that chooses to walk among
them -- Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of David, and the Son of God.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, I do believe that Jesus is my LORD, my Messiah and Christ, my
Savior, and my King. Forgive me for not living out that faith with more
passion and more character. Empower me with your Spirit to become more
like him each day. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
