Title: Glorious Journey (1 of 13)
Series: The Journey
Author: Steve Jones
Text: Luke 1
Sermon Summary: The appellation "Son of David" communicates Jesus' "glory." 1) Kingdom glory. 2) Spiritual glory. 3)Everlasting glory.
INTRODUCTION: I enjoy reading biographies. Almost all biographies follow the same chronological outline tracing the subject's life from their birth to their death.

Jesus once asked the Pharisees, "What do you think about the Christ, whose son is he?" They said to him, "The son of David" (Matthew 22:42). To the original readers, the appellation, "Son of David" would carry the connotation of the Kingdom of Israel in its glory days. David was the nation of Israel's greatest king. David is mentioned some 600 times in the Old Testament. He is mentioned about 60 times in the New Testament. In sheer volume, God chose to write more about David than any other single person in the history of the Old Testament.
A thousand years before Jesus, David led the Kingdom of Israel to unprecedented peace, prosperity, and power. The Jews of the first century were in the waning twilight of their existence as a ...
