If Jesus was the messiah the first question asked would be "is he of the house of David?" Any claim to be the Messiah would have to pass this genealogical test. Every devout Jew knew that the Messiah would come from the lineage of David. So Matthew traces Christ's genealogy through the royal line of David.

The title 'son of David' also links Jesus with humanity.
