§439Many Jews and even certain Gentiles who shared their hope recognized in Jesus the fundamental attributes of the messianic "Son of David", promised by God to Israel.38 Jesus accepted his rightful title of Messiah, though with some reserve because it was understood by some of his contemporaries in too human a sense, as essentially political.39
§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.

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…
