“Rightly Receiving the King”

2 Samuel 19:8b—15 and 24-30 - Jerry Scheumann

As David has now been victorious against the rebellion, he now returns to Jerusalem to secure the throne for himself, and as he does so, he is met by a mix of various responses, some selfish and faithless, others joyful and humble. So also, as Christ is now exalted as King of kings, it is imperative not only that we receive Christ, but we receive him rightly.
