When Jesus is described as the “Son of David,” it tells us that he is a descendant in the line of David, and like David he is a powerful king. You can hear Jesus using this same logic in his preaching about being “sons of your Father.” Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. (Matt. 5:44–45)
