The other day in my Bible reading, I read about Mephibosheth — and realized how he is a good picture of the redeemed. Look…
“And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.” 2 Samuel 9:7
– It was nothing he did to merit a changed position; we did nothing to merit salvation with God.
– He could have rejected the king’s offer but accepted; we could have rejected salvation, but accepted.
– David blessed him for Jonathan’s sake; we are blessed because of Jesus’ sake.
– He was still lame, but his position changed; we are still flesh, though our soul is redeemed.
– He stayed loyal to David out of love and gratitude; it ought to be love and gratitude to God that keeps us faithful.
– He could have rejected the king’s offer but accepted; we could have rejected salvation, but accepted.
– David blessed him for Jonathan’s sake; we are blessed because of Jesus’ sake.
– He was still lame, but his position changed; we are still flesh, though our soul is redeemed.
– He stayed loyal to David out of love and gratitude; it ought to be love and gratitude to God that keeps us faithful.
