Great David's Greater Son
from A.W. Pink on Christ on SermonAudio Hosted by Pastor Andrew Webb
Jesus uses the Old Testament to show that the Messiah was not only going to be the Son of David, but the Son of God - a fact that the hypocritical and self-serving theology of the Pharisees simply couldn't explain, accept, or account for, but a fact absolutely necessary for the salvation of sinners. Sabbath Meditation “Here is the remarkable thing: the Holy Spirit has here been pleased to make known to us… the very words the Son used as He left the Father's presence to come to earth. To which we may add—amazing, heart-thrilling fact—the Holy Spirit has also been pleased to reveal to us the first words which were uttered by the Father when His Son returned to Him, “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand” (Ps. 110:1). The point we are now dealing with is so precious that we would feign dwell upon it. There was no constraint laid upon Christ: all that He did was done freely and gladly. From the beginning of the days of His flesh He said, “Thou art my God from my mother's belly” (Ps. 22:9), and that, by His perfect choice. So too as He neared the end He could say, “I was not rebellious neither turned away back. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting” (Isa. 50:5, 6). Yes, Christ “gave Himself” (Gal. 2:20) for us. – A.W. Pink
