Summary
We're going to place David's entire life under scrutiny and what we're going to see in these weeks ahead is that David's life is not so much about David but it's about God and God's grace toward a sinful human being. The king and his men marched to Jerusalem against the Jebiusites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, you will not come in here, even the blind and the lame will turn you back, thinking, David cannot come in here, nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, which is now the city of David. That's just, that's just the reverse, that's so often we can be tempted to think that I don't know what I'm doing, but I must be doing something right because, boy, my life seems to be really going good, right? Godly sorrow is I am sorry of the sin and offense against God because while we sin against each other ultimately all sin is against God and what David exhibits here is as as is heart then is brought to the awareness through the story of Nathan that God had given a prophet Nathan to tell him when his heart then comes to that place of repentance. We took a look at the first appointed king which was Saul and because of Saul's repeated disobedience, because of his hardness of heart the Lord had rejected Saul as king and the youngest of Jesse's sons was anointed and that being David. But we also know of the perfect ruler, the Lord Jesus Christ, that would come, and how Jesus lived the perfect righteous life and how that righteous life would be credited to David.
