How do we know that Jesus is both David's Son and Lord?

Answered in 1 source

The New Testament reveals that Jesus fulfills both identities by quoting Psalm 110, emphasizing His divine lordship over David.

In Matthew 22:41-46, Jesus poses a question to the Pharisees: 'What think ye of Christ? Whose son is he?' They correctly identify Him as David's son, but Jesus further challenges them by citing Psalm 110, where David calls Him Lord. This dual identity is crucial to understanding Christ's nature; He is both fully human, as a descendant of David, and fully divine, indicating His lordship over all. This mystery underscores the profound truth of the incarnation and the dual nature of Christ, serving to enrich our understanding of His role in salvation history.
