2 Samuel 5:1-25

Yahweh’s covenant with his people extends through generations from the Adam up to the present day.  Although it may appear slow-moving at times, his purposes are being accomplished and covenantal progress is relentless and certain.  Fruit of this covenant progress includes unity among his people, as we acknowledge the imago dei in each one and intentionally move toward each other in repentance and forgiveness.  As during the time of King David, God still goes before his people and calls us to follow in the direction he is moving, until that final covenant consummation in the new heavens and the new earth.
