David Is Not Jesus
King David is unmatched in the Hebrew Bible in stature and name recognition. How can this flawed and fallible person be THE ONE that is so lauded and admired? Pastor Amy tries to cut through the “himpathy” and propaganda to see David with the eyes of Jesus. Which doesn’t mean she likes him, but helps her understand that God’s work is accomplished through him.
