Title: What Would a King Want With a Kid?
Author: Steve Wagers
Text: 2 Samuel 9:1-13
Richard Baxter: "What an astonishing thought to think of the immeasurable difference between our deserving and our receiving. So then let "Deserved" be written on the floor of hell but on the door of heaven and life, 'The Free Gift''"
2 Samuel 9 - Story of GREAT GRACE
- Greatest King is history of Israel - 33 years
- ONLY Jesus is mentioned more in the Word of God
- He was measuring stick for EVERY King after him
"Did that which was right...as his father David."
"Did not that which was right...as his father David."
- Jesus - Root/Lineage of David - Sit on Throne of David
- ONLY - "Man after God's own heart" - WORSHIP/GRACE
Biography of Mephibosheth:
1) A CORRUPT FAMILY
(1) "house of Saul"
NO OTHER King BEGAN so RIGHT/ENDED so WRONG
Mephibosheth - Grandson of King Saul
ALL of us are born into a Corrupt Family. We are BORN as CHILDREN OF ADAM. Must be BORN AGAIN to be CHILDREN OF GOD.
2) A CRIPPLING FALL
(3) "lame on his feet."
2 Samuel 4 - Nurse dropped him as they fled the city. Crippled rest of his life.
We have Corrupt Family because of a Crippling Fall.
(Romans 5:12) "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."
We're NOT SINNERS because we SIN
We SIN because we're SINNERS
Jesus Didn't Come to Make GOOD people BETTER
He Came to Make LOST people SAVED
3) A CATASTROPHIC FAMINE
(5) "Lodebar" - "No Bread"
We come into the world SEEKING/SEARCHING/STARVING
