Scripture

2 Samuel 24

Even the best men have faults, but Jesus ascended as the Man and King with no fault.   #daybydaylw   Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ? Go to follow.lifeword.org!   ~~~ David, despite his flaws, points us to something greater. His humility after failure, his intercession for the people, his costly worship—all these highlight why he was a good king. Yet David’s goodness has limits. He sins. He fails. He needs mercy himself. This final chapter of Samuel whispers for something more: a greater King. One who would not just intercede but bear the full penalty. One whose obedience would be perfect, whose mercy would be unending. Jesus is the better David. Where David sinned, Jesus obeyed. Where David offered symbolic sacrifices, Jesus became the sacrifice. Where David's mercy spared a city, Jesus' mercy spares the world. Prayer Points: Jesus, thank You for being the flawless King David could only foreshadow. Teach me to treasure Your mercy and walk daily in Your grace. Let my life reflect the kind of kingdom You are building—one of mercy and truth. 2 People To Pray For Rigoberto Jimenez and his family, our National Changemakers in El Salvador The Dagaare Lifeword broadcast for the people of Burkina Faso & Ghana
