![]() Their memorial is perished with a cry but, The Lord shall endure for ever: as another Psalm, but not another Spirit, says.ĥ. For though the heathen rage, will they, taking counsel together against Christ, prevent the fulfilment of these words: I will give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for your possession?. This is going on, this is taking place: although it is accomplished by degrees, it is going on without end. What enemies are made His footstool? Those to whom imagining vain things it is said, Why do the heathen so furiously rage together: and why do the people imagine a vain thing? etc.He therefore sits at the right hand of God, till His enemies be placed beneath His feet. While the latter is fulfilled openly, believe the former to be fulfilled secretly. Thou dost not see Christ sitting at the right hand of the Father: yet you can see this, how His enemies are made His footstool. Two things are here said: that God said, Sit on My right hand and added, until I make Your enemies Your footstool that is, beneath Your feet. Christ, therefore, sits at the right hand of God, the Son is on the right hand of the Father, hidden from us. So that in this very circumstance, that Christ took upon Him the flesh, that He died in the flesh, that He rose again in the same flesh, that in the same He ascended into Heaven, and sits on the right hand of His Father, in this same flesh so honoured, so brightened, so changed into a heavenly garb, He is both David's Son, and David's Lord.Ĥ. For if it should happen, that the son of any private person be made a king, will he not be his father's lord? What is yet more wonderful may happen, not only that the son of a private person, by being made a king, may become his father's lord but that the son of a layman, by being made a Bishop, may become his father's father. You wonder at this, as if the same did not happen in human affairs. For That which was born of the seed of David was so honoured, that It was also the Lord of David. So that by the very circumstance that Christ was David's Son, He became His Lord also. It is already done: we saw not it, but we have believed it: we have read it in the Scripture, have heard it preached, and hold it by faith. Let us not be ashamed of the Son of David, lest we find the Lord of David angry with us.ģ.We know that Christ sits at the right hand of the Father, since His resurrection from the dead, and ascent into heaven. But let us, brethren, both believe and declare: for, with the heart we believe unto righteousness: but with the mouth confession is made unto salvation Romans 10:10 let us believe, I say, and let us declare both the Son of David, and the Lord of David. If then David in the spirit called Him Lord, how is He his son? The Jews were silent at this question: they found no further reply: yet they did not seek Him as the Lord, for they did not acknowledge Him to be Himself that Son of David. Not only the suspicion of the Jews, but the faith of Christians, does declare this. The Jews, then, when questioned by Christ, whose Son they believed Christ to be, rightly answered, the Son of David. Matthew 1:1 The Evangelist declares, that he is writing the book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David. Matthew thus begins, The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David. If it be said to us, Is Christ the Son of David, or not? If we reply, No, we contradict the Gospel for the Gospel of St. Jews answered be asked of us, whether we confess or deny it God forbid that we should deny it. We ought, therefore, thoroughly to consider this question proposed to the Jews by the Lord, in the very commencement of the Psalm. The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool Psalm 109:1. If then, He asked, David in the spirit call Him Lord, how is He his son? Matthew 22:42-45 With this verse this Psalm begins.Ģ. For when our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ asked of the Jews, whose Son they alleged Christ to be, and they had replied, the Son of David He at once replied to their answer, How then does David in spirit call Him Lord, saying, The Lord said to My Lord? etc. ![]() Includes the Catholic Encyclopedia, Church Fathers, Summa, Bible and more all for only $19.99.ġ.This Psalm is one of those promises, surely and openly prophesying our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ so that we are utterly unable to doubt that Christ is announced in this Psalm, since we are now Christians, and believe the Gospel.
