Proof that Jesus Christ is Son of God

Psalm 110:1

'The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.'

Below is an excerpt from http://rightwordtruth.com/a-study-of-psalm-1101/


"The first time Ps. 110:1 is quoted in the New Testament is in the context of Matthew 22:41-44. In verse 41 we learn that some Pharisees were gathered together and Jesus asked them, “What think ye of Christ, Whose Son is He”? And the Pharisees answered, “The Son of David” (verse 42). And our Lord’s answer is significant, “He said unto them, ‘How then doth David in spirit call Him Lord, saying The Lord said unto My Lord, Sit Thou at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool”. If David then called Him Lord, how is He his Son?”

The point Christ was making to these Pharisees was that David refers to the coming Messiah as “Lord” and this proves that the Messiah was going to be much more than the Son of David. Who could David, the King of Israel, have possibly called Lord other than God Himself? No one! Christ was, of course, David’s Son. But the point of these passages is that Christ was much more than David’s Son, or David would not have called Him “lord”. Christ is in one sense the Son of David, but He is also the Son of God.

Going now to the second time Psalm 110:1 is quoted in the New Testament, we find it in Mark 12:36. Once again Christ asked, this time of the common people, “How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David? For David Himself said by the Holy Ghost, ‘The Lord said unto My lord, sit Thou on My right hand, till I make Thine enemies Thy footstool”. David therefore, himself calleth Him Lord; and whence is He then his son?” (verses 35-37). This is the same point made in the same way as we read in Matthew 22. That point being that David would not have called his own son “Lord”. That Messiah is the Son of God is the whole point of this discourse."
