Why does Paul emphasise that Jesus is the Son of David in 2 Timothy
Upvote:3
Because Jesus descended from the family line of David. As Isaiah says,
Isaiah 11 English Standard Version (ESV) The Righteous Reign of the Branch
11 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
The Branch is Jesus. Jesse is the father of David. In fact many prophecies from Old Testament said the one to redeem Israel is from house of David. Often the Bible would refer Jesus as David.
Also remember the blind man that was calling out to Jesus, he referred to Jesus as "son of David".
Matthew 9:27 [ Jesus Heals Two Blind Men ] And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, βHave mercy on us, Son of David.β
Psalm 132:11 The Lord swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: βOne of the sons of your body I will set on your throne.
Matthew 1:1 [ The Genealogy of Jesus Christ ] The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
