Through His suffering and exaltation, Christ, the promised Son of David, builds the house of God! And now we have inherited the blessings of the Davidic Covenant through Jesus Christ (2 Samuel 7:1-17)!
God's plan of the ages advances by the structure of His covenants through the pages of Scripture. The covenant of grace promises that the Seed of the woman will crush the head of the serpent, but only through great personal suffering, Genesis 3:15. This promise unfolds progressively through God's covenant promises to Abraham, to Israel, and to David. Finally, these covenant promises come to fruition through Jesus Christ, the seed of the woman, the seed of Abraham, and the promised Son of David. |
