In Matthew 22:41-45, Jesus poses a profound question to the Pharisees about the identity of the Christ. He challenges their understanding by referencing David's words, raising vital inquiries about Jesus' lineage and divine authority. This passage encourages deep reflection on how people perceive Christ: as a disappointment, a fraud, a burden, a seasonal attraction, or the true Savior who provides answers to life's problems. It invites us to consider our own views of Christ and whether we honor Him enough to follow His teachings.

What Do You Think About the Christ? Matthew 22:41-45 41While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?” They said to Him, “The Son of David.” 43He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying: 44‘The LORD said to my Lord,“Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”’? 45If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?” 46 And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore.
