God Becomes Man, Lesson 23: The Second David

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 23: The Second David
Lesson Overview

Having seen how Jesus fulfills in his whole life various key elements of Israel’s own national story, we finally arrive at the biggest key element of all: Jesus as the heir of David. All of the Messianic expectations revolve around this crucial identity, God’s own promised heir for King David who will rule over Israel and the nations forever. In Jesus’ day, Messianic hopes took many shapes, but the most dominant highlighted David’s exploits as a military commander. Jesus upsets these expectations, giving the people not a war hero who smites Israel’s earthly enemies, but a man anointed by God to exact final judgment on all sin, bringing about a new age of restored fellowship with God which consequentially marginalizes all elements of the current age, no matter how hallowed or significant.
