Christ as Man: A Study in Luke預覽

What does it say?

Religious leaders questioned Jesus’ authority. He told a parable and questioned them.

What does it mean?

Jesus posed a perplexing question to the religious leaders after their failed attempts to discredit Him. He quoted Psalm 110:1 to declare the Messiah’s deity, claiming it as His own. The only way the Messiah could be David’s Lord and son is by being the eternal God who became man. He is David’s Lord because He is God, and He is David’s son as a descendant of the Davidic line. The Holy Spirit revealed to David that the Messiah would be God in human form (Mark 12:36). Jesus gave them one final invitation to accept His deity and repent. The religious leaders knew what Scripture said but refused to accept Jesus as the truth of Scripture.

How should I respond?

The most critical issue of life is what a person believes about Jesus Christ. Is Jesus God, or was He just a man? Many view Him as a good man, wise teacher, compassionate healer, and miracle worker. They don’t deny that Jesus lived, but they don’t believe that He is God. As followers of Christ, we believe and proclaim that Jesus is Lord, the Messiah, the Son of God. What do you believe about Jesus? How does what you profess to believe affect how you live? Allow God to use you today as a witness of the truth found in Jesus Christ.
