Romans 1:3
concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh
God’s good news to mankind is all about His Son. As with most fathers, if you receive the Son then you receive the Father. You can’t have one without the other.
It would be easy to get the impression that Christ is Jesus’ last name. I actually thought it was for many years. Christ is a title meaning the anointed one or the messiah. Jesus is the Savior God promised to Israel.
Not only is Jesus our Savior but He is also Lord, Master, and King. He has authority over us and we owe Him respect, honor and obedience.
As was prophecied, Jesus was a direct decendant of Kind David on His human side. This is a very important point because it verifies Jesus’ claim to be Messiah.
