It Ain't Necessarily So

Luk 20:41  And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son? 
Luk 20:42  And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 
Luk 20:43  Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 
Luk 20:44  David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? 

Psa 110:1  A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. 

Two things I want to say. First, the Lord Jesus quoted a Psalm as proof that he was greater than a man, even greater than the son of king David.  Jesus is the Jewish Messiah, the Christ, the anointed one from God. Jesus believed that all the scriptures were true.  The world does not see it this way. One part of scripture many mock at is the story of Jonah and the great fish. Jesus used this true story as an important illustration.

Mat 12:39  But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 
Mat 12:40  For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 
Mat 12:41  The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 

One once popular song was called "It ain't necessarily so" Written by Harlan Howard

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible,
It ain't necessarily so.

The song mentions Jonah and the whale, David and Goliath and Methuselah who lived 900 years. The song suggests that we take what we read in the Bible with a grain of salt, for it ain't necessarily so. I clever song of a popular worldly viewpoint. However the Bible is true and Jesus often quoted from the Old Testament. The world has taken the truth of God's Bible and made it a fictional story book. Is there any wonder that the nation is divided about what is the truth? What the world teaches as truth; evolution, abortion, gay marriage, promoting aberrant lifestyles, this is not truth as taught in the word of God. Jesus offers truth and life, eternal life in him. The world seeks to destroy and to kill  those who disagree with them. (John 10:10)
