Matthew 22:41-45 David’s Son and David’s Lord

The day after the triumphal entry was a doozy of a day. All the groups of religious leaders banded together in their opposition to Jesus. Matthew tells of how they tried to intimidate Jesus, incriminate Him, discredit His theology, and diminish the influence He had over the crowds. In each instance they failed. Now Jesus goes on the offensive. He asks them two questions designed to expand their understanding of the Messiah. Yes, the Messiah was to be the Son of David, but He was more than that; He would also be David's Lord. Listen as Pastor Matt explains the mysteries truths that make these seemingly contradictory identities possible, and the implications of those truths for both the enemies of Christ and the citizens of His Kingdom.
