Jesus quotes Psalm 110

The words of Jesus can be confusing especially when Jesus is quoting the Old Testament.   Join DJ Freemyer for 700 Seconds in a Psalm as we prepare for Easter together by looking at Psalms that Jesus quotes during holy week.  This series is designed for listeners who want inspiration for preaching or devotions especially during Lent. 

Jesus' statement here can feel very confusing in Luke 20.  Wait, what?  Who is saying what to whom?  But when we look at the Psalm, it helps us understand why Jesus was quoting this verse.  Here, Jesus shows that victory comes through submission and boldly challenges the religious leaders to revisit their interpretation of the Psalm.

Let's jump in to the text this week to learn more about why Jesus quoted this Psalm in Luke 20.  As one of most frequently quoted Psalms in the New Testament, it's quoted in Matthew 22, Mark 12, Luke 20, and Acts 2 (by Peter).  But even more, verse 4 of the same Psalm gets a lot of attention in Hebrews 7:11-28. Clearly, this messianic Psalm is highly significant.
