Introduction
In we read...
Since Jesus was to sit on the throne of His father David, it’s not surprising that He is called in the Scriptures the Son of David.
He is called the Son of David in the very first verse of Matthew’s gospel.
In , people are amazed at Jesus and ask, “Can this be the Son of David?” ()
The answer is yes.
In , a blind beggar named, Bartimaeus, cries out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” ()
And Jesus had mercy on him.
In , a Canaanite woman cried out, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.”
()
And Jesus had mercy on this woman’s daughter as well.
In , as Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey one week before His death on the cross, the crowds shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!
Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!” ()
Jesus said that if the crowds didn’t shout it, the rocks would.
So, Jesus is the Son of David.
But we know that to say that Jesus is the Son of David is not to say that David, the second King of Israel, is Jesus’ father.
Jesus was, of course, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin named, Mary.
But we know that to say that Jesus is the Son of David is not to say that David, the second King of Israel, is Jesus’ father.
Jesus was, of course, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin named, Mary.
David is Jesus’ father is to say that King David was Jesus’ ancestor.
Jesus comes from the lineage of King David, the second king of Israel.
But what does it mean to say that Jesus is the Son of David?
Why was this apart of God’s message to Mary as she was told that she would be the mother of the Messiah?
If you trace Jesus’ blood line through His mother, Mary, you see that He is the descendant of King David.
If you trace His legal line through His adoptive father, Joseph, you see that Jesus is a descendent of King David.
This is something spelled out carefully for us in early chapters of Matthew and Luke, but why does it matter?
Jesus comes from the lineage of King David, the second king of Israel.
But what does it mean to say that Jesus is the Son of David?
Why was this apart of God’s message to Mary as she was told that she would be the mother of the Messiah?
What does it mean to say that Jesus is the Son of David?
Why was this apart of God’s message to Mary as she was told that she would be the mother of the Messiah?
Why do we find this phrase on the lips of people throughout the gospels?
Why do we find “Son of David” as a descriptor for Jesus throughout the NT?
That’s what we want to think about this morning as we think about two PASSAGES of Scripture in particular.
But before we go further let’s pray.
Referring to
Mark 10:47-48

Major Ideas
where the angel says that Jesus will be given the throne of His father David forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end
Jesus the fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant in
the history of kings in Israel
David the king after God’s own heart
God’s promise to David in
not Solomon because Solomon can’t sit on the throne forever; he died
though Jesus died, He rose from the dead and was seated at the right hand of God; on the throne of Israel forever
No doubt that Jesus was a physical descendant of David (, ), but it seems that some people in Jesus day just looking for a physical descendant of David.
Jesus, however, tried to help them see that the Son of David would be much more than just a physical descendant.

Conclusion - What difference does it make in your life that Jesus is the Son of David?
---------------
Passage #1: Turn with me to …
King David wanted to build God a house, but God said no and instead promised to build David a house.
Not a literal house of stone or wood, but a royal house that would have no end.
God said to David in ...
In this passage, God is promising David more than just a son who will reign in David’s place when David dies.
He is promising David a Son who will reign as King of Israel forever.
That word forever is used one in v. 13 and twice in v. 16.
God didn’t make a mistake.
He didn’t misspeak.
He promised David that an offspring would come from his body and rule forever.
We go through the list of Israel and then Judah’s kings and see that they all had birthdays and death-days.
None of them ruled forever.
None of them were the fulfillment of the promise God made to David in .
But Jesus is the fulfillment of that promise.
Listen to what Gabriel says to Mary in and you’ll hear the same sort of language that God used when He made His promise to David in .
says...
Whether you believe it or not, God’s Word says that Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s promise to David in .
He is the fulfillment of ...
He is the fulfillment of ...
This what Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, declares in the opening verses of his letter to the Romans...
It’s what Paul also declares to Timothy and to us, when he writes in ...
But although Jesus is the Son of David—the One promised by God and eagerly expected by the people—the people in Jesus’ day didn’t fully grasp who the Son of David would be or what He would do.
Jesus tried to broaden their mind in Mark 12:35-37.
Passage #2: Turn with me to ...
Mark has this great section in his gospel—a section were the religious leaders are trying to trap Jesus with crafty questions.
Jesus, of course, skewers the religious leaders with questions and answers of His own.
They asked, “By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?”
()
Jesus agreed to answer their question if they could answer His, “Was the baptism of John from heaven or from man?” ()
If they said, “From Heaven,” Jesus would have said, “Then why didn’t you listen to him.”
If they said, “From man,” then the people who held John the Baptist to be a prophet from God would’ve turned on them.
The religious leaders were stuck, so they said nothing.
They asked, “Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” ()
Jesus looked at a denarius and asked, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?”
They said, “Caesar’s.”
()
Jesus said, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
The people marveled, and the religious leaders were frustrated once again.
They also asked a ridiculous question about marriage in Heaven ().
Jesus told them they asked such silly questions because they didn’t know the Scriptures or the power of God ().
Life after death is real, Jesus said, but people won’t marry or be given in marriage in Heaven ().
He cut to the point in when He told them, “You are quite wrong.”
And once again they were silenced.
Once again, they were silenced.
They went on to ask which of the commandments was most important ().
Jesus answered, “…love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength… love your neighbor as yourself,” ().
One of the scribes elaborated upon Jesus’ answer, so well in fact, that Jesus told him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God,” ().
They were the ones who usually judged answers as correct or incorrect, but now Jesus was judging their answers.
