§447Jesus ascribes this title to himself in a veiled way when he disputes with the Pharisees about the meaning of Psalm 110, but also in an explicit way when he addresses his apostles.61 Throughout his public life, he demonstrated his divine sovereignty by works of power over nature, illnesses, demons, death and sin.
2. Yet none of these things made them take courage, and this when they were continually hearing about His resurrection. For together with His death this also especially troubled them, to hear that men should mock and scourge Him, and the like. For when they considered His miracles, the possessed persons whom He had delivered, the dead whom He had raised, all the other marvellou…
1. Truly, where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. Romans 5:20 This at least the blessed Paul intimates here also, in the very beginning of his Epistle to the Hebrews. For since as it was likely that afflicted, worn out by evils, and judging of things thereby, they would think themselves worse off than all other men, — he shows that herein they had rather been made parta…
1. I could have wished to know for certain whether any hear with fitting earnestness the things that are said, whether we are not casting the seeds by the wayside: for in that case I should have made my instructions with more cheerfulness. For we shall speak, though no one hear, for the fear which is laid on us by our Saviour. For, says He, testify to this people; even if they …
1. Paul mixes the lowly things with the lofty, ever imitating his Master, so that the lowly become the path to the lofty, and through the former we are led to the latter, and when we are amid the great things we learn that these [lowly ones] were a condescension. This accordingly he does here also. After declaring that He offered up Himself, and showing Him to be a High Priest,…

This is the way, beloved, in which we find our Saviour, even Jesus Christ, the High Priest of all our offerings, the defender and helper of our infirmity. By Him we look up to the heights of heaven. By Him we behold, as in a glass, His immaculate and most excellent visage. By Him are the eyes of our hearts opened. By Him our foolish and darkened understanding blossoms up anew t…
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand. This Psalm is cited by Christ himself to prove that the Messiah is more than merely David's son — he is David's Lord. It speaks of the kingly priesthood of Christ after the order of Melchizedek, a priesthood superior to the Levitical order. The declaration "Sit thou at my right hand" is the most frequently quoted Old Testam…
'The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit Thou at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool.' See Ps. cx. 1 and Matt. xxii. 44 and Acts ii. 34-35 and Heb. i. 13. David in spirit calls Him Lord, of whom he was himself the father according to the flesh. See Matt. xxii. 43-45. Therefore Christ is both David's Lord and David's Son: David's Son according to the flesh, David's L…
