This Sunday I plan to preach from 2 Samuel both in the morning and in the evening.
In the morning service I plan to preach from 2 Samuel 18 about David's victory in the civil war and his grief over the death of his son Absalom. This tragedy raises many issues which apply in our lives today as children still rebel against their godly parents who are often guilty of being passive. The grief of such parents is like that of David who wept over his son Absalom.
Absalom in death is a monument of warning to those who rebel against the Lord in their foolish pride. We also see Christ in this text. Like David he was rejected but now reigns as a conquering king.
As David was willing to die in the place of his wicked son, Jesus actually died for His wayward people. Just as Absalom as the enemy of the Lord's anointed was crushed, so those who refuse to bow the knee to Christ shall wind up like Absalom.
On Sunday evening I plan to bring a brief message from 2 Samuel 17:27-29, a text which we passed over quickly last week.
Often in my studies there are lovely nuggets of truth which I have to leave out of the sermon because of time and continuity. This Sunday night I decided to present one of these nuggets in which David's eastern friends who helped him in his darkest hour portray Christian charity and the love of Christ.
