This is the sixth message in a
seven-part series called Spectacular Sins and
their Global Purpose in
the Glory of Christ. This message is called “The
Sinful Origin of the Son
of David.” The point is this: The kingship of Israel—the
fact that Israel
had kings—was owing to sin. It was a spectacular sin for the
people of God to
say to their Maker and Redeemer, “We want to be like the
nations. We do not
want you to be our king. We want a human king.” That is a
spectacular sin.
