David's Son
Mark 12:35-37
And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?…


I. David's prophetic spirit. "He was moved by the spirit of truth when he foretold that his son would rule over all, and when he owned him as Lord." The psalm had originally another bearing. But as all true poesy "smacks of something greater than it seems," and has deeper meanings than meet the eye, so did the words of the psalmist reach forth into remoter times and higher relations.

II. Christ's identification. "He declared that he was the Son of David, and that his priesthood and kingdom were universal and everlasting." - J.
