1 Samuel 17

The story of David and Goliath is one of the most popular stories in Scripture, but do you really understand it? It's not a story about personal perseverance as an underdog against your enemies. It's not a moralistic tale to teach us to " just have faith like David" and God will give us the victories. It's a story of a champion who steps in and fights a battle no one else was willing to fight or could. David winning the victory for all of Israel as Israel's champion gives us a clear picture of our champion, Jesus, who stepped in to win the victory we couldn't win ourselves!
