The Lord of All; Luke 20:41-44

Delivered during the Sunday Morning Worship Service, 4/6/2025. After a barrage of questions from the various religious leaders of the Jews, Jesus asks one of His own. It is a question designed to expose the fallacy of their thinking regarding the nature of the Messiah. Quoting from Psalm 110, Jesus points out that David makes an apparent contradiction-- a grievous error if indeed the Messiah is merely a man. For he states that THE Lord speaks to HIS Lord (Yahweh speaks to Adonai) using the distinct language of divinity. And yet, everyone knew that the Scriptures taught the Messiah was to be David's Son. How can a Messiah who is divine also be the descendent of a human? We will carefully analyze these words and find that the only possible solution is a Messiah who is both God and man! This short segment reveals not only the profound Theological truth that God is three persons in a single Being, but also the Christological truth that Jesus has two natures (human and divine) in the same Person. We will process these great biblical principles by celebrating the simple but profound truth that Jesus the Christ is Lord of All!
