The Christ of Christmas; David the Guilty

"This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David....." - Matthew 1:1

When you hear of King David in the Bible, you may think of David and Goliath, or you may think of David, the musician, or even David, the man after God's own heart.

Now while David was all of those things, the truth is he was also an adulterer and a murderer. You can read the whole story in second Samuel eleven. When confronted with his grave sins, the prophet, David tore his clothes, wept, and repented. He turned to God for forgiveness. David, the sinner, was named in Jesus' line — Jesus, the Messiah...sent to save us from our sins.

You know, we all sin and fall short of the glory of God, but Jesus has made a way for us to be forgiven. And all we must do is put our faith in Him and Him alone.
