Matthew 22:34-46; Mark 12:28-37; Luke 20:41-44

The third of a trilogy of "loaded" questions asked of Jesus on Tuesday of the Passion Week came from a lawyer (a "scribe" - Mark 12:28). It was not a political or doctrinal question, but a theological one; it had to do with the greatest commandment in the Old Testament Law.

After supplying the lawyer with the perfect answer, the Lord Jesus asked the man a question of His own (as He often did). His question dealt with the most important personal issue facing every person, past, present, and future! It was essentially, "Who is Christ? Whose Son is He? Is He merely the son of a man, or is He the very Son of God?"

The Lord Himself supplied the answer to His own question, and it was a very LOADED answer! As He always did, He used the Word of God as both His final authority and His proof text. Learn how Christ used Psalm 110:1 to prove that the Messiah (Himself) is also Adonai (Lord God)! THIS IS AN IMPORTANT APOLOGETIC TOOL FOR PROVING CHRIST'S DEITY!
