When people referred to Jesus as the Son of David, they meant that He was the long-awaited Deliverer, the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies.
Sa tuwing tinutukoy si Hesus bilang anak ni David, ito'y tumutukoy sa Kanyang titulo bilang Tagapagligtas gaya ng inihula ng Lumang Tipan tungkol sa Mesiyas.
