Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.
Two of my favorite things are in the reading today. One, we get to meet Mephibosheth. He was only five when his father, Jonathan, was slain. You will learn more about him if you take the time to read 2 Samuel 9. By the time David becomes aware of him, Mephibosheth has a son. This tells us that David is well into his forty years as king. Remember, the same year David became king in Hebron, Mephibosheth would have only been five years old. Twenty years are likely to have passed, and maybe more than that.
David moves Mephibosheth from Lo-Debar, a city whose name means "nothing," and gives this crippled man a place at his table. How could this not cause us to pause and reflect on the mercy Christ has shown to us? Has Jesus not taken us from "nothing" and brought these crippled, broken sinners near to himself? It is certainly a beautiful picture of the grace of the king.
