Matthew 22:42 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. “What think ye of Christ?” A phrase often used by Christ to introduce a question designed to test someone. Here the Pharisees, Herodians, Sadducees, and scribes had all put Him to the test. He also had a test for them. “The son of David” was the most common messianic title in the usage of Jesus’ day. Their answer reflected their conviction that the Messiah would be no more than a man, and Jesus’ reply was another assertion of His deity. This is really the problem in our churches today. Most do not realize who the person of Jesus is. Just like the Pharisees thought Jesus was the descendent of man, is what many believe today. The problem with believing in miracles is that we have decided that Jesus was man walking around on this earth when in fact He was God the Word, who took on the form of flesh and dwelt among us. We limit Jesus, because we do not truly understand who He is. We know that we are limited in what we can do so we believing that Jesus was man, have reduced Him to the point that we believe that he is limited as we are. Just His name (Emmanuel) tells us that He was God with us.
