David’s Son, David’s Lord

In Luke 20:41–44, Jesus points to Psalm 110, where David calls the Messiah “Lord,” showing that the Christ is not merely David’s physical descendant but also his divine Lord. In these few verses, Jesus reveals the mystery and majesty of His person, calling all who hear to recognize Him as the promised Christ — fully human, fully divine, and the only true Savior.
