The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah • Appendix IX
Great deliverance to His king — Jer. Talmud applies to Messiah
His Anointed
God promised unfailing love to His anointed and David's descendants forever.
Old Testament
Psalm 18:50
He gives his king great victories; he shows unfailing love to his anointed, to David and to his descendants forever.
New Testament
Matthew 1:1
This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Why This Matters
God promised unfailing love to His anointed and David's descendants forever. Matthew opens by identifying Jesus as the Messiah, son of David — the ultimate recipient of that promise.
Reflection
God of the covenant, as I trace Your promises in His Anointed, fill me with confidence that You finish what You start.
