Cited in today's Gospel.
If Messiah is the Son of David, why does David call him Lord?
Another conundrum like that: if The Lord is the eternal King of Israël, how can Israël eternally be given to the dynasty of David as Kings?
The solution to both is the same. For people not yet baptised, there is a building called baptisterium where they can be that. That is a real new birth to a real new life, that is also accepting that the Son of David Son of Abraham born in Bethlehem is truly also the Lord of his ancestor. And that there is a community - truly it is Israel, though not often so referred to outside some liturgic contexts - that belongs equally to the royalty of David and that of The Lord. Because there is a person that is equally God, The Lord who walked before Moses in the desert, and Man, the son of a virgin of the house of David espoused to an old man of the house of David.
IESUS NAZARENUS VERE EST DEUS, VERE EST HOMO, VERE EST CHRISTUS, REX IUDÆORUM.
