II Samuel 2-4
The kingdom of Saul is waning and the kingdom of David is rising. Have you heard of the Hatfield’s and
McCoy’s? Two families from
Virginia and Kentucky whose feud left many family members dead and a legacy of
bitterness and mistrust in its wake.
That’s what’s happening in today’s reading. Two great families are waging a terrible feud against each
other and the cost in human life is tragic. God never hides us from ourselves. We are messed up from the ancient hills
of Israel to the hillbilly hollers of Kentucky. Human hands spill human blood. But there is “gold in them thar hills.” The golden blood of Jesus will flow
through the family of David to the hills called Calvary and eventually over
each heart that yearns to call Him Savior. He ends the family feud forever.
Post Script: I heard this
tonight, “You got the golden blood, O-, the universal donor.” That’s what I am talking about, “THE
Universal Donor.
