Mark 12:35-37 - Half Right, All Wrong

Jesus has answered question after question from His critics, and now He turns to ask a question of His own. Still in the temple on Tuesday before the cross, He addresses the issue of His identity as the Messiah. The religious leaders have missed it because they reduced the Messiah to something smaller than He truly is. They were half right—but completely wrong. They knew the Messiah would come from the line of David, but they failed to see that He would be far more than a human king. Jesus is not merely the Son of David—He is the Son of God, and this changes everything. Main Idea - Jesus is Not Merely the Son of David - He is the Son of God, and that changes everything!
