Thy Kingdom Come | 2 Samuel 5:1-25

In this message, we explore the life of David and how his journey as Israel's king foreshadows the ultimate kingship of Jesus Christ. By looking deeper into the scripture, we uncover how God works through shadows in the Old Testament to reveal the spiritual realities of His kingdom in the New Testament. David’s life teaches us about patience, trust, and the divine nature of God’s promises.

MAIN POINTS

1. David as a Shadow of Jesus
David, like Jesus, did not force the people to follow him but allowed them to come freely and willingly, reflecting how God works in our lives to lead us to surrender.

2. God's Kingdom and Covenant
David, though king, was referred to as a prince, highlighting that God is the ultimate King. Jesus also came to do His Father’s will, fulfilling the new covenant for God’s people.

3. Jerusalem and Zion
David’s rule from Jerusalem points to a greater spiritual truth – the kingdom of God’s people. Just as David established Jerusalem, Jesus reigns over God’s kingdom, with Zion symbolizing God’s dwelling with His chosen people.

Through David’s journey, we see a clear image of how God patiently works to bring us into His kingdom, not by force, but by love and grace. Just as David made a covenant with the people, Jesus has made a covenant with us, offering salvation and eternal life. Will you freely surrender and make Jesus your King today?
