Bart Byl on 1 Chronicles 17.

Series: Christ in the Old Testament

David is feeling guilty about living in a place of cedar while the ark of God lives in a tent. He wants to build a temple for God, but God turns him down. Instead, God says, “I am going to build you a house—a great dynasty, with a king who will sit on your throne forever.” God’s relationship with human beings will always be asymmetrical. We can never outgive God, and nowhere is this seen more clearly than in the gift of His Son.
