If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son? The logical conclusion: if David calls the Christ Lord, the Christ must be more than merely David's descendant. The question points to the divine sonship that Peter confessed (Matthew 16:16) and that the Sadducees' arguments implicitly denied: the Christ is both David's son (fully human, born in David's line) and David's Lord (fully divine, worshipped by David).
