David's Great Son

Yahweh promised King David that one of his descendants in the future would sit on the throne of rulership forever. Jesus of Nazareth, who was descended from David, was the fulfillment of that promise. Both his parents, Joseph and Mary, through different lines, were descended from David. Jesus' incarnation affirms his full humanity, which in turn confirms his descent through the blood line of David. As the great human-divine King he rules his people with understanding and compassion.
