Is Jesus on David’s Throne?

Welcome to Midway Church of Christ

What’s Your Question? for March 14

Those who deny the kingdom of Christ has been established, teach that Jesus will come in the future to reign on David’s throne in Jerusalem. The angel Gabriel told Mary that Jesus would receive the throne of David (Lk. 1:32). Peter said that David’s prophecy of one being raised to sit on his throne was fulfilled in the resurrection and ascension of Christ (Acts 2:29-33). When Jesus overcame, He sat on the throne of His Father (Eph. 1:20; Rev. 3:21).

Daniel said Jesus would receive the kingdom when He ascended (Dan. 7:13,14). Paul said Jesus is now reigning over the kingdom and will continue until the last enemy, death, is destroyed (1 Cor. 15:22-26). Just as surely as Jesus arose and ascended, He is seated on David’s throne.
