When the angel Gabriel announced the birth of Jesus, he told Mary that her son would rule on David’s throne. Matthew’s gospel opens with a genealogy which emphatically connects Jesus of Nazareth with the kingly family of David. This is because the prophets had told God’s people that the coming “Son of David” would also be the Son of God.
The Old Testament kings of Israel were flawed–some more than others. The best ones, although far from perfect, were remembered by Israel as displaying some of the marks and virtue of the Ultimate Son of David.
In this Advent series, we are focusing our attention on four sons of David, four men named in Jesus’ genealogy–Solomon, Asa, Hezekiah, & Josiah. Each one points us to something true about their future son. Each one’s flaws remind us that we needed a great King.
