You May Not Want to Look!

Prompted by prolonged famine, King David sought the Lord for an explanation. Once he received it, though, he sought human counsel for the cure. The result was heartbreaking devastation, particularly for one family. Alistair Begg explains that while the world we live in is beautiful, it can also be harsh and cruel—a fact that, as Christians, we must confront. King David’s endeavors to deal with sin and brokenness were totally inadequate, as are our own. In Jesus, however, we have a perfect King in whom God’s just wrath has been fully satisfied.

Scripture: 2 Samuel 21:1-14

This was an excellent explanation of this passage!

And i hope somebody had a chat with the sister who was disturbing the sermon all the time... boy was she annoying, but brother Alistair handled it like the professional gentleman that he is😅

[joycehammel]

Thank you Pastor Begg. He is sovereign and trustworthy. Holding onto His unchanging hand with hope.

[annettaliverpool]

I love this, thank you, then I thought that this seem to be a problem with David's family because his grandson (Rehoboam) did the same thing, seeking advice from the wrong people, not seeking God.
Thank You Jesus, for Your love.

God is almighty and he does as he pleases. He is holy and can not be around sin. Most of Old Testament shows us how important Jesus is and how merciful God is to create away of reconciliation for us. We all deserve to dye to be hung for our ancestral sins. We see ‘how it Is’ for humanity with out Jesus. It also shows how their are great consequence, cause of wrath for sin, especially going against Gods will, rebelling against his word and commands. As always in the deepest sense it always points to Jesus and his sacrifice for us.
