Our paragraph topic is: (The son of David) Part 6.
They heard the question put to them by Christ. The Pharisees came together to ask Christ a question but instead since they were all gathered together he had the perfect opportunity to test them. So he asked them a question. Whose son was the Christ? To whom did he belong? Was he the son of David?
That is what they thought and believed. That is what they knew from their studies. But they did not go further in their studies to understand the knowledge that David knew, in the spirit, when he was present with his Lord speaking to the Lord of Lords. David knew the outcome. He knew that the Christ would come from his lineage. He also knew that the Christ came before him and was his Lord and savior, even though he sprang from the flesh of his flesh. And no one could answer him a word.
No one wanted to have the last word. No one wanted to be in the right. No one wanted to show his knowledge of the word but failed when he came against the Lord of Lords. The battle had gone on long enough. No one had come many times to question Christ. He had conspired with the Pharisees to trick him on many occasions. But now Christ had them all together that he could speak to No One and end the constant attempts at questioning him. He spoke to the Pharisees in a language that they could understand and he spoke to No One in a language that it could understand so that the battle would end. And No One could answer him not a word.
We speak in words that have meaning beyond meaning. They go deeper than just the surface of our speech. And with the deeper meaning comes understanding of a different nature. Some understanding is good some not so good. We are mindful that the spoken word comes not, most times, without harmful intent. Yet in other occasions the deeper meaning is quite obvious as being harmful and malicious. How we respond determines our inner being? Are we a loving person? Are we an understanding person? Are we a vengeful person who wants to retaliate in kind?
Christ came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. His passion transcends the trivial darts and arrows that we might suffer from each other. It allows us to become transparent; it allows such harm to pass through us as we focus on the love of the one who gave us life and the forgiveness of the one whom we shot our arrow of sin against. Our God is full of mercy. He is a God of love for all his creations. I am. I did not exist but now I am. I will be thanks to the love of Jesus Christ. Will you be?
