1. Whose son is Christ? (41-42)

The Pharisees and Jewish leaders were expecting a political or military Messiah. They wanted a powerful king like David, who would improve their human conditions. So they rejected humble Jesus who came to set men free from sin and establish God's kingdom in men's hearts. When Jesus asked them, 'Whose son is the Christ?', they said, 'He is the son of David.'

2. Who is it that David calls Lord? (43-46)

Jesus quoted Psalm 110, a psalm about the Messiah written by David. In it he speaks of the Messiah as his Lord. This means that the Messiah is more than just a human descendant of David. The Messiah is God himself. Furthermore, those who oppose and reject him will be defeated and put under his feet. His kingdom is a spiritual kingdom, and those who belong to it will reign with him.

Application: Lord, you are my Christ. Come and rule my heart and life. Hasten the day when your enemies will be put under your feet.
One Word: Jesus Christ is King and Lord
