Son of David

Jesus is the “son of David,” the heir to the Davidic throne, the beloved Son of God, and the “ruler of the kings of the earth.” The gospel of Matthew calls Jesus the “ son of David ,” but this is far more than an entry on his genealogical chart or one of his many messianic titles. And Matthew demonstrates just what it means to be the “ son of David ” and the “ Son of God .” Even the several individuals who call him “ Son of David ” in this account hold deficient understandings of who and what Christ is - [ Jerusalem Photo by Toa Heftiba on Unsplash ].
