Nathan (4 of 7)
Series: It Matters
Joey Rodger
2 Samuel 12:1-14
This week I had a nice chuckle when I started reading thru the passage for today. It reminded me of an event during my college days. In my freshman year, I attended Florida Bible College near Orlando. We had a large board where students would pin notes of encouragement to one another. One day I pinned a note to a female friend that quickly got out of hand. I gave the girl 1 Sm. 12:24 - Only fear the Lord and trust Him for consider what great things he has done for you. A few hours later, I ran into her in the bookstore where she hit me in the shoulder for the verse I'd given her. Only she had read 2 Sm. 12:24 - David comforted his wife Bathsheba and went in to lay w/ her. Certainly not the verse or response that was intended. Nonetheless, there's a lesson to be learned when confronting a person you believe is in the wrong.
Today we're going to investigate the story of when Nathan confronted King David about his multitude of sins that began w/ lusting after Bathsheba. Read: 2 Sm. 12:1-14
In case you're just joining us, we're in a series of messages on OT Characters entitled, IT Matters. In this series we're looking at those qualities and characteristics that make a difference in life. IT involves those attitudes and actions that shape our character and determine our steps.
The story of David and Nathan contains many profound lessons about grace, sin, righteousness, justice, and truth. In David, we're befuddled of how a man after God's own heart can turn and engage in such ungodly actions. In sin, we learn how sly and seductive the tentacles of temptation are. In Nathan we discover the courage and creativity required to confront a brother in sin. Finally, in God, we see just how amazing is His grace and how demanding is His holiness.
Today, while we will touch on each of these areas, our primary focus will be on how Nathan confronted the King and why IT Matters we have the courage ...
