Summary

In Luke 20:43, Jesus quotes Psalm 110:1 to challenge the understanding of the religious leaders regarding the identity of the Messiah. By referencing this Messianic psalm, Jesus prompts them to consider that the Messiah is not merely a descendant of David but is also divine, seated at the right hand of God. This verse underscores Jesus' authority and divinity as the Son of God, who is greater than any earthly king or ruler. It serves as a reminder that Jesus' kingship transcends human lineage and points to His eternal reign as the promised Savior and Lord.

Thy footstool - Literally, the footstool of thy feet. They shall not only be so far humbled that the feet may be set on them; but they shall be actually subjected, and put completely under that Christ whom they now despise, and are about to crucify.

Luke 20:43

Whose Son Is the Christ?

⁴²For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand ⁴³until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
