The Return of the King

As King David returned to his kingdom after Absalom’s defeat, tragedy overshadowed triumph. His grief over the death of his enemy-son impacted those around him: foolish arguments erupted between the tribes of Judah and Israel, and lives changed as people scrambled to align themselves with the victor. Shimei sought clemency, Mephibosheth declared his loyalty, and Barzillai faced his mortality while recognizing God’s providential purpose. Alistair Begg compares and contrasts David’s fragile, divided kingdom to God’s kingdom, which will be perfect and united when Jesus, the true King, returns.
Scripture: 2 Samuel 19

Praise God he is so merciful he is so merciful that it doesn't matter what a person has done all that a person has to do is repent and believe what Jesus did on the cross is sufficient to save us and except the free gift of salvation and Jesus does the rest He is the author and finisher of our faith we are His workmanship and we are secure in His hands, thank you Father for sending your Son who took my sins upon Himself and gave me His righteousness so I can have a future with you thank you for redeeming me I didn't deserve it thank you for your mercy upon me and all who except your Son!!!

Correction: This is from 2nd Samuel, not 1st Samuel, as the description says.

[@quantumchem3774]

If the Lord had not been on our side- let Israel say- if the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us, they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us; the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us, the raging waters would have swept us away. Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be torn by their teeth. We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Amen. There is no other God, no other Rock . He alone is worthy of our praise, adoration, obedience. ☝🏻💫💛

Wait Pastor Begg. I believe Mephibosheth was genuine. He told King David that Ziba could have everything in verse 30.
