Matthew 22:45

"‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?"

Key Reflection

This verse encapsulates the prophecy that the Messiah would be exalted to sit at God's right hand, ruling over his enemies as a sign of ultimate victory and sovereignty. It foreshadows both the triumphal entry into Jerusalem and the future triumph over all adversaries, central themes in Jesus' mission and the broader narrative of redemption.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 45. If David, etc. If he was, then, David's Lord; if he was his superior; if he had an existence at that time, how could he be descended from him ? They could not answer him. Nor is there any way of answering the question but by the admission that the Messiah was Divine as well as human; that he had an existence at the time of David, and was his Lord and Master, his God and King, and that as man he was descended from him. __________________________________________________________________
