JESUS AND DAVID

 

Jesus and David – Matt 22:34-40, Mark 12:35-37 & Luke 20:41-44

 

            Jesus then asked the people who is and if Christ was the Son of David.  In the book of Psalms, David said, “The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for my feet.  David called Him Lord and how can he be his son?”  Jesus then gives a teaching about false teachers and who are the true teachers of the law. 

 

1.    The scribes love to walk around in long flowing gowns and get the best places at banquets.

2.    They love to be greeted with respect in the market place and the best seat in places of worship.

3.    They devour widow’s houses and then make lengthy prayers.

4.    Such men will be judged severely.  When you have been given great responsibility so comes with it great accountability. 

 

The lesson we can learn is humility, honest, integrity and responsibility are the fruit of a life grounded in Christ.
