1 Samuel 23:1–24:1 (NEG79)

1 On vint dire à David: Voici, les Philistins ont attaqué Keïla, et ils pillent les aires.

What does 1 Samuel 23 reveal about what God the Son does in my place and on my behalf?

Jesus Christ is the King who always submitted to the Lord’s guidance. Throughout his life, he meditated on Scripture and allowed God’s Word to influence his thoughts and actions. Thereby he lived the perfect life of obedience. Despite his love and concern for God’s people, he was betrayed by his friends and family. A betrayal that resulted in his death where he died to pay for the very sins of those who betrayed him. As such, he lived the perfect life in my place and died the death that I deserve for my failure to submit to God and love him with all my being.
