Whose Son is the Christ?

The Bible Knowledge Commentary 20:41–44

Jesus then took the offensive and asked a question of the people around Him. The question concerned the nature of the Messiah—How is it that they say the Christ is the Son of David? Jesus then quoted from Psalm 110:1, in which David called the Messiah my Lord and said that He was exalted by being at Yahweh’s right hand, the place of prominence. Two points are evident in these words of Jesus.

Jesus then quoted from Psalm 110:1, in which David called the Messiah my Lord and said that He was exalted by being at Yahweh’s right hand, the place of prominence. Two points are evident in these words of Jesus. First, the Son of David is also David’s Lord (Luke 20:44) by the power of the resurrection. (In Acts 2:34–35 Peter used the same verse from Ps. 110 to prove that Jesus’ superiority is based on His resurrection.) Second, David must have realized that the Son, who was to be the Messiah, would be divine, for David called Him Lord.

Two Points are Evident:

First, the Son of David is also David’s Lord () by the power of the resurrection. (In Peter used the same verse from to prove that Jesus’ superiority is based on His resurrection.)

First, the Son of David is also David’s Lord () by the power of the resurrection. (In Peter used the same verse from to prove that Jesus’ superiority is based on His resurrection.) By this point in , the ascension had already happened . He had taken his place; Jesus was seated at God’s right hand. Fulfillment had come; He was/still is an active Participant. And lest there be even any confusion, the writer of Hebrews asks further, is there an angel or what angel has taken this spot at the right hand of the throne of God ? The answer is clear, no Angel has done this.
