As we study this section of David's life, we are faced with a searching question - what would we have done, if we'd known David and became aware of his sin? What do we do, when a brother or sister in Christ is overtaken in a fault (Gal. 6:1)? 2 Samuel 12 gives us the answer to the question, "What did God do?" God sent a spiritual man, who was close to David, to confront him with God's Word. Far from being an end in itself, however, this confrontation was a means to the end of David's restoration. Nathan models for us the sensitivity required in a delicate task like this. After approaching David with God's Word in such a sensitive manner - we rejoice to see David respond with repentance.
