Significance

Jesus poses a profound Christological dilemma: how can Messiah be both David's son (human descendant) and David's Lord (superior divine being)? The only resolution is that Messiah possesses both human and divine natures. Psalm 110:1 is one of the clearest OT texts pointing to Messiah's divinity - Yahweh invites David's Lord to sit at his right hand until enemies are subdued. This exalted position indicates divine status. Jesus subtly claims this identity for himself, demonstrating that proper messianic expectation must include divine Lordship, not merely Davidic descent.
