Carry The Message
Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 12:1-10
Bible Text: “And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man…” 2 Samuel 12:7a
The sin had been committed months earlier. The King had committed adultery with the wife of one of his soldiers and then had that soldier killed in battle. The adulterous act resulted in the woman becoming pregnant. The cover-up was thought to have been complete. The husband was dead. The pregnant wife was befriended by the King and given a place in his home as one of his many wives.
Although the months had passed and no human had revealed the sins of the King, those sins had been seen by the Lord of the Universe. God, Himself, sent one of his fearless servants to the King.
The King, David, was told that God knew and would hold him to account for his sin. Indeed, David and his family paid for his actions into the generations that were yet to come.
Nathan, God’s prophet, was the man with the message for the man mired in sin.
Will you carry the message of salvation from the coming judgment through Christ Jesus? Will you be as fearless as Nathan facing King David as you face your friends and associates with the Word of God?
Hypocrisy is too thin a veil to blind the eyes of the Almighty. - William Gurnall
