Jesus Takes a Turn at Posing a Question
Sermon Details
Read passage (ESV) — Matthew 22:41-46
Whose Son Is the Christ?
41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 42 saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The son of David.” 43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying,
44 “‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies under your feet”’?
45 If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?” 46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.

A s s u r a n c e o f P a r d o n “Already you are clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. … As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.” — John 15:3-4, 9 (ESV) Eternal Father, we acknowledge that we are poor sinners, conceived in guilt, prone to do evil, and unable of our own power to do good. We constantly violate Your holy commandments intentionally and unintentionally. But, O Lord, with heartfelt sorrow we repent and turn away from all our offenses. We abhor our iniquities and our evil ways. We plead Your grace and mercy to relieve our distress. Have compassion on us, most gracious God, for the sake of Your Son Jesus Christ. Grant us daily increase of the grace of Your Holy Spirit and produce in us the fruit of righteousness that is pleasing in Your sight. Through Jesus Christ our Lord we pray. Amen. 8 more about your eternal future. You can find their
