Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, the verse means He did not pretend to take human nature but truly took it and really possessed it. He was the son of Mary. Made of the seed of David according to the flesh means that in His human lineage and by human descent He descended from David. He is thus declared to be a man, even the Man Christ Jesus.
The verse identifies Jesus Christ our Lord as the promised Messiah, Jesus the Messiah. His human descent is also traced back to Abraham. His descent through Abraham and David fulfilled the prophecies and the prophetic expectation that the Messiah would come from Abraham's and David's lines.
He is the Antitype of the sacrificial offerings, whose purpose pointed forward to Christ. Though truly man, He is counted worthy of more glory than Moses, since he who builds the house has more honor than the house itself.
