Jesus belonged to the family of David. He was proclaimed as the Messiah of David's line, both before His birth and after His resurrection. But He Himself was slow to make messianic claims. The reason for this is that the ideas associated with the Messiah in the minds of the Jewish people were quite different from the character and purpose of His ministry. Thus, He refused to give them any encouragement.

><>...JESUS THE CHRIST...><>

When, at Caesarea Philippi, Peter confessed Jesus to be the Messiah, Jesus directed him and his fellow disciples to tell no one that He was the Christ. After His death and resurrection, however, the concept of messiahship among His followers was transformed by what He was and did. Then He could safely be proclaimed as Messiah, God's Anointed King, resurrected in glory to occupy the throne of the universe.

Son of God-- Jesus was acclaimed as the Son of God at His baptism <Mark 1:11>. But He was also given this title by the angel Gabriel at the annunciation: "That Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God" <Luke 1:35>. The Gospel of John especially makes it clear that the Father-Son relationship belongs to eternity-- that the Son is supremely qualified to reveal the Father because He has His eternal being "in the bosom of the Father" <John 1:18>.

At one level the title Son of God belonged officially to the Messiah, who personified the nation of Israel. "Israel is My Son, My firstborn," said God to Pharaoh <Ex. 4:22>. Of the promised prince of the house of David, God delclared, "I will make him My firstborn" <Ps. 89:27>.
