Mark 12: the Messiah in the temple

Jesus came from Galilee to the temple. It was expected that the Messiah would be extremely honored in the temple by the high priest, levites, etc. Jesus was not. Jesus was tested. They expected that he would fall in some trap so that the people or the Romans would become against him. Despite what the Jewish leaders thought of him, Jesus himself was sure that he was the Messiah. He recited Psalm 110 to the Jewish leaders:

Psalm 110:1 The Lord says to my Lord:
“Sit at My right hand
Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”

and then, he asked the Jewish leaders:

37 David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; so in what sense is He his son?” And the large crowd enjoyed listening to Him.

The Messiah is Adonai. YHWH makes the Messiah win over his enemies. Even David recognized that the Messiah is Adonai, so how come the Messiah is his son? Jesus knew he is the Messiah and that he would rule over his enemies. The ultimate enemy is the death, the chaos that came from the sin, despite the opposition of the Jewish leaders.
Jesus is the one who makes us whole before the Lord.
Jesus won the death and every Christian believes that in Jesus he won the death too.
