Tracing God's big picture of redeeming a people for Himself in Christ, we see how He advances this plan in raising up a king for His people, which will somehow fulfill His unconditional promise to the patriarch Abraham, namely, that his "seed" will extend YHWH's blessing to the nations.
Linking the foundational passages of Gen. 12 & 2 Sam. 7, we see that God's plan to restore "rest" & "peace/shalom" & "order" will be brought about by "the son of David".
This is fulfilled by none other than THE son of David, Jesus Christ, who as the Son of God (Rom. 1:3) is bringing God's blessing to the ends of the earth.
Very practical sermon, addressing things like:
1. What is "blessing"? 2. Why is the gospel good news? 3. How do we in the new covenant extend this blessing?
Also dealt w/ is the biblical notion of chaos & how it is linked w/ God's judgment on sin, as well as how this chaos has been overcome in the cross of Christ. This is very relevant to a world that is chaotic, empty & searching for order. In Christ, we have HOPE!
