Who Preach the Word of God As It Is To Men As They Are
"Preach The Word"
David, A Type Of Christ, The Beloved
(1 Sam. 16:4-13)
Intro: A dear pastor friend related to several visitors in his home how his grandson was so much like his son. "His appearance, his personality, and his movements," he said, "are just like him."
*David is so much like Jesus: born in Bethlehem; 8th son, the son of new beginnings; of the tribe of Judah; root of Jesse (see Isa. 11:1); of lowly origin, but exalted; after God's own heart, etc.
