You Are The Man

As we continue in our study of Samuel, Cary guides us through 2 Samuel 12:1-31. In 2 Samuel 12, King David is confronted by Nathan the prophet. Nathan rebukes David for the evil he committed against God and against Uriah. He asks, "Why have you despised the word of the Lord, to do what is evil in his sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and have taken his wife to be your wife and have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites." (2 Samuel 12:9)

From the text Cary teaches us that we, like David, are "the man." We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. "In His mercy, God doesn’t give us what we do deserve, and in His grace, He gives us what we don’t deserve." - Warren Wiersbe
