“And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?”
Luke 20:42-44 KJV
Jesus told the scribes, “Haven’t you read in the Psalms where David himself wrote: The Lord Yahweh said to my Lord, ‘Sit near Me in the place of authority until I subdue all Your enemies under Your feet!’ ” Jesus explained, “If David calls this One ‘my Lord,’ how can he be His Son?” This is the most oft quoted psalm in the new covenant. Jesus said, “The LORD God said to My protecting Lord Messiah.” The right hand is the position of authority and honour. The footstool symbolises what is subdued, where all the enemies become a footstool under the feet. Jesus is challenging them to consider that Christ will be both God and Man - David’s son and David’s Lord. This is a challenge to all mankind that God became Man to conquer sin and death to make all His sons and daughters. This is His love for mankind. Jesus Christ is victorious, righteous and lowly. It is mankind’s free will to believe it or not. Let’s choose to believe. Amen!
