In Mark 12:35-37, Jesus asks a riddle about Psalm 110:1 — if the Messiah is David's son, why does David call him "Lord"? Jesus is challenging the LIMITED christology that the Messiah is merely a human descendant of David.
Mark Series pt 50: Jesus's question about Christ and David from Psalm 110
Mark 12:35-37: Jesus asks the scribes how they can say the Christ is merely the son of David when David himself (writing "in the Holy Spirit") says "The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand." The Messiah must be MORE than a human descendant — David would never call a mere descendant "Lord" in Jewish culture (sons are never greater than fathers). This passage addresses: (1) Inspiration of Scripture — David wrote "in the Holy Spirit"; (2) Davidic authorship of Psalm 110 (Jesus affirms it); (3) Messianic interpretation of the OT; (4) The deity of Christ. After this question, "no one would venture to ask him any more questions" — Jesus wins the debate.
