About this episode
This episode discusses God's promise of an eternal King through David's lineage and the longing for perfect leadership.
So far, we’ve seen God’s Rescue Plan in motion: from Creation’s beauty to the Catastrophe of sin; from the Covenant with Abraham to the Commandments at Sinai. Last week, we saw the Conquest of the land. But a land needs a leader. A people need a King. Today, we arrive at The Crown. The CROWN, where God promised David that a King would come through his line who would sit on the throne of an eternal kingdom. God promised a true king in an everlasting kingdom. Deep down, we are all nursing a 'leadership wound.' We instinctively long for a King who is both perfectly powerful and perfectly good, but our experience tells us that kind of King doesn't exist. In 2 Samuel 7, the word of the Lord came to David through the prophet Nathan, that God would establish a throne through David’s lineage that would reign over an everlasting kingdom. We can place our trust in the eternal King that God promised to raise up from David’s line.
