CHRIST

August 21-Start Your Day Right Devotion

(KJ) Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

CHRIST

The word "Christ" (Greek christos) means "anointed" (which suggests being chosen, commissioned, empowered, set part for special service). It is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew term "Messiah," which refers to the Savior the Jews had long expected (Daniel 9:25-26).

1. From the beginning of his message, Matthew affirms that Jesus is God's "Anointed One" - filled with and empowered by the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 61:1; Luke 4:18; John 3:34; Acts 10:38).
2. He was anointed to fill three specific roles: (a) a Prophet, to challenge people to maintain or renew their relationship with God and to help them understand the truth (Deuteronomy 18:15). (b) a Priest, to be the mediator of a renewed relationship between God and people by offering the sacrifice (His own life) that would pay the full penalty for humanity's offenses against God (Psalms 110:4; Hebrews 10:10-14). (c) a King to establish the purposes of God's kingdom on earth and to guide and rule His people with perfect justice (Psalms 9:8; Isaiah 32:1; Zechariah 9:9). 

SON OF DAVID

1. Matthew provides the clear record that Jesus was a legal descendant of David by tracing the family history of His earthly father, Joseph, who was from the family line of King David. Although Jesus was conceived by a miraculous act of the Holy Spirit, in earthly terms He was still formally registered as Joseph's son, which meant that He was legally a "son on David." 
2. The family history outlined in Luke's Gospel (Luke 3:23) traces Jesus' ancestry through the males on His mother Mary's side (she was also from David's family line). Luke stressed that Jesus is the flesh-and-blood child (physical "offspring"0 of Mary, which focuses on His humanity and the fact that He was one of us (Romans 1:3). In this way, the Gospel writers show how Jesus had both a legal and biological claim as the true Messiah, the Christ.
