enemies under your feet!’ If David himself calls him Lord, in what way can he be his son?”
Many people came to Jesus, and listened to him gladly.
Reflection:
Jesus is trying to deepen the meaning of ancient prophecies. He is laying
down the foundation of His being the Messiah along the bloodline of
David, but He is more than just a human messiah. He is the Son of God for He was
addressed Lord by King David himself when he was inspired by the Holy
Spirit. So essentially, Jesus wants the people to reflect more on the scriptures and
not just accept standard interpretations of the teachers of the time. And
so the people are attracted to His teachings. He brings a deeper and fresh
perspective to the words of scriptures.
