22.12.13 “David” (1 Samuel 16, 17)

 

If you reflect on the history of your country, wherever you live in the world, you probably can name some historical heroes. Men and women who accomplished great things which helped shape the history and culture of your country. Who are they and what did they accomplish? For the nation of Israel there are many such people of course but today, as we continue our 30-day journey toward Christmas, I'd like us to consider how one particular man in the Old Testament pointed forward to Christmas and Jesus, perhaps more than any other.  The six-pointed Jewish star is named after him and often the city of Jerusalem bears his name. He was the second king of Israel, and you may recall Joseph and Mary headed to Bethlehem to register for a census because they were born into the lineage of this King. You know who I'm talking about, don't you? David, the son of Jesse.
