You Are the Man! | 2 Samuel 12:1-10; John 19:1-11
Sermon Summary:
As we continue to read about David’s life and reign as king over Israel, we start to see sin and failure, even from the man who is “after God’s own heart.” God warned Israel about how an earthly king would be far worse than Himself as their king. This was obvious when it came to King Saul, and now King David falls into some of the same sinful pitfalls. When you are successful and powerful, it is easy to hear people say “You are the man!” and agree, and think you are entitled to whatever you want. But sooner or later, God will reveal that “You are the man!”--a sinful, guilty man. When we, like David, realize we need someone else to really be “The Man” for us, then we behold The Man–our Lord Jesus. In this sermon, Pastor Smith directs us to The Man Jesus, who comes to save us from our sin.
Sometimes you feel like you are “The Man.”
King David thought he was “The Man”--in a positive way.
But Nathan revealed to him that he was “The Man”--in a negative way.
If David is not The Man, and you are not The Man, then who is???
“Behold The Man”--Jesus!
Jesus is “The Man” who gives up His power and gives up His own life so that we will be saved.
