Acts 13:23-26

'From this man's descendants God has brought to Israel the Saviour Jesus, as he promised. Before the coming of Jesus, John preached repentance and baptism to all the people of Israel. As John was completing his work, he said: "Who do you suppose I am? I am not the one you are looking for. But there is one coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie." Fellow children of Abraham and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent' (NIVUK)

The Jews always looked forward to God's Saviour. Although they idealised their national heroes, the Scripture is quite honest about their failings. Under David's reign the kingdom was the most extensive and wealthy, so they saw him as the model of God's Saviour to come. Paul, teaching in the synagogue in Pisidian Antioch (Acts 13:13-14), followed their logic to introduce Jesus. Jesus was a direct descendent of David, born in David's home city of Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). But He was much more than a copy of David; Jesus was the real Saviour of whom David was just an imperfect model.
