God Becomes Man, Lesson 13: Reclaiming the Throne

Series Overview

On Wednesday nights throughout the next nine months, we will be walking our way through the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, learning the story of salvation, especially how everything points to and is fulfilled by Jesus.

Lesson 13: Reclaiming the Throne
Lesson Overview

We turn now to a crucial watershed in the story of salvation: the development of the monarchy in Israel, wherein the line of the promised “seed” is made even more precise and the role of the coming one becomes more clear. Birthed in the context of Israel’s difficult early history in the Holy Land, in which she consistently whores after the local gods and becomes subject to violence, God provides a telling lesson in how leadership is to work among his people by first raising up an unfaithful king (fulfilling the people’s request for a “king like the nations have”) and then raising up a king who is loyal to himself. By these means, he sets up to restoration of God’s own rule over all people.

Key Text(s): 1 Samuel 8-10, 15-17
Office Texts: Psalms 23 and 45:1-9, 1 Samuel 16:1-13; Matthew 3:13-17
