KINGSHIP November 20, 2016

The book of Samuel recounts for us today the anointing of David as king

of Israel. It was the elders of Israel who declared David king that day, but it

was God who called David to shepherd Israel. Thus mandated by the citizens

of his kingdom and by his God, David took his place in a long line of kings.

The apostle Paul speaks to us of kingship as well, but on a much higher

plane: the kingship of Jesus our Lord. As great as David was, he and all

earthly monarchs who came before and after him in their kingdoms around

the world are minor kings by comparison to the true King. And lastly, we

hear the story of that true King in perhaps his weakest moment: near death,

hanging on a cross, taunted by a common criminal and by the world at large. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
