Dec 12, 2021 · Great David’s Greater Son. We can understand, then, why Matthew begins his Gospel, his book of good news, with a family tree ending on one glorious Branch (Jeremiah 23:5–6). In Jesus, David’s son had come — and as it turns out, so had David’s Lord. Jesus unveils the wonder in a famous exchange with the Pharisees.
Mar 30, 2024 · In the Gospels, this title is frequently used, particularly in the accounts of people seeking healing or acknowledging Jesus’ messianic status. For instance, in Matthew 9:27, two blind men address Jesus explicitly as the “Son of David,” demonstrating their faith in his messianic and healing powers. Similarly, the crowds hail him as the ...
Sep 30, 2023 · Matthew 1:18: “Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way.

Jun 27, 2010 · Jesus' right to the throne of David is traced through Joseph. Luke traces Jesus lineage all the way back to Adam to prove that through his mother, Jesus was physically a son of man. Joseph was not physically Jesus' father, but because Joseph and Mary were married prior to Jesus' birth, Jesus is counted as Joseph's son.
Dec 13, 2022 · Joseph: A Devout Son of David. I find it interesting the way the angel appealed to Joseph in confirming the news of Mary’s pregnancy.
