The Divinity of the Messiah
Mark 12:35-37
Peter said Jesus was the Messiah.
Bartimaeus said Christ was David’s son.
The multitudes said Jesus was the one.
Jesus Christ said He was the Son of God.
The scribes were a tough crowd; Christ was tougher.
Christ was a leader; He was a reader.
He read the Scriptures that His Father inspired.
Jesus Christ was a great public speaker.
Saint Hilary of Poitiers said the
Scribe “was ignorant of the Law and did
Not know that Christ must be acknowledged as”
…David’s son “according to the Spirit.”
Saint Hilary of Poitiers, France, was
A bishop and a doctor of the Church.
