Whose son is He?’ They said to Him, ‘The son of David.’ He said to them, ‘How then does David in the Spirit call Him Lord’, saying: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit at My right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool’. ‘If David then calls Him’ ‘Lord’. ‘How is He his Son? And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore” (Verses 41-45). Here’s a real simple lesson, don’t try to outsmart God, you won’t win. You’ll just end up looking “not smart”. Here’s the irony knowing this, we’ll still try (oh mankind, when will we learn?)
