Mark 12:35 - 37
Whose Son Is the Messiah?
35 Later, as Jesus was teaching the people in the Temple, he asked, "Why do the teachers of religious law claim that the Messiah will be the son of David?  36 For David himself, speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, said,
'The LORD said to my Lord,
Sit in honor at my right hand
until I humble your enemies beneath your feet.'  
37 Since David himself called him Lord, how can he be his son at the same time?" And the crowd listened to him with great interest. (NLT)
The problem that the teachers of the law had was that they only could see one side of the coin. Was Jesus the son of David? Yes and Jesus came from the linage or loins of David but Jesus was also the Son of God or God in the flesh. Therefore Jesus was David’s son and David’s Lord. Jesus is to reign as King in the Kingdom to come and David is a subject in that Kingdom. The teachers never understood who the Christ was outside of being David’s son. The Holy Spirit spoke through David explaining that God the Father said to God the Son to sit in honor at the right hand of the Father until He humbled His enemies beneath His feet. It is wonderful that we serve the real Lord and King of Heaven.
