What Does the TITLE "Son of David" Mean in the HOLY WORD?
What Does the TITLE "Son of David" Mean in the HOLY WORD?

Church! Let's Study the New testament:
1.In the Genealogy of Matthew: Matthew 1:1
When Matthew recorded the GOOD NEWS about CHRIST, he started with the TITLE:
JESUS Christ, the Son of David.
In essence, Matthew was both reminding and teaching the JEWISH Church of the Promised Messiah.
For the MESSIAH was Promised in the Lineage of David the King.
2. In Joseph's Dream: Matthew 1:20
When Joseph had a dream: The Angel of the LORD said:
"Joseph, Son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife..."
The TITLE used by the Angel of the LORD, Proves the Legacy of Joseph in the Lineage of David.
Son of David was also a common title used in the JEWISH Household.
3. TWO Blind Men: Matthew 9:27
When the Blind men Called Out for CHRIST, they said:
"Have Mercy On Us, Son of David"
In Saying so, they accepted and declared CHRIST as the MESSIAH.
In Just Hearing about CHRIST, they believed the LORD.
4. Amazed Crowd: Matthew 12:23
After the LORD delivered a demon possessed man, the people said:
"Can this be the Son of David?"
In Stating So, the CROWD Considered him as the Probable Messiah.
But the PHARISEES were against it.
5. Canaanite Women: Matthew 15:22
In a Particular incident, Matthew records the Confession of a Canaanite women:
"Have Mercy on me, O LORD, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon."
WOW! What a REVELATION to a FOREIGNER of ISRAEL!
Even the DOGS understood it! ISRAEL Didn't!
6. Blind Bartimeaus! - Mark 10:47,48, Luke 18:38
When the Blind Bartimeaus, heard about CHRIST he shouted:
"Son of David, have mercy on me?
In a LOUD Voice, he angered the Pharisees and the JEWS who had denied CHRIST.
For the Declaration said: JESUS of NAZARETH is the MESSIAH of the JEWS!
And Church, Son of DAVID is a MESSIANIC Title!
The BELIEVING JEWS Understood it! The REST Perished!
Shalom,
