The Lord of David: Recognizing Jesus' Divine Nature

The Lord of David | Recognizing Jesus' Divine Nature | September 17, 2023 Sermon

In this sermon, we explore the topic of “The Lord of David” from Luke 20:41-44. In this passage, Jesus engages in a thought-provoking conversation with the religious leaders and asks a question of the Pharisees and Sadducees about the identity and authority of the Messiah by quoting Psalm 110:1, which says, “The Lord said to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’” In this passage, Jesus is revealing His divine nature and His connection to King David.

We will explore what it means for Jesus to be "the Lord of David" and how we can apply this truth to our lives. We will discuss how recognizing Jesus’ divine nature can help us approach Him with reverence and awe. We will also talk about how submitting to Jesus’ authority can help us experience true freedom and joy. Finally, we will discuss how sharing the good news of salvation with others can help us live out our faith in our daily lives.
