The Wisdom of Solomon, Son of David
Series Title: Son of David
Series Summary: When the angel Gabriel announced the birth of Jesus, he told Mary that her son would rule on David’s throne. Matthew’s gospel opens with a genealogy which emphatically connects Jesus of Nazareth with the kingly family of David. This is because the prophets had told God’s people that the coming “Son of David” would also be the Son of God.
The Old Testament kings of Israel were flawed–some more than others. The best ones, although far from perfect, were remembered by Israel as displaying some of the marks and virtue of the Ultimate Son of David.
In this Advent series, we are focusing our attention on four sons of David, four men named in Jesus’ genealogy–Solomon, Asa, Hezekiah, & Josiah. Each one points us to something true about their future son. Each one’s flaws remind us that we needed a great King.
Passages: 1 Kings 4:20-34
Speaker: Omar Ortiz
Solomon’s reign was the high point of the Davidic monarchy. Blessed by unmatched wisdom, Solomon’s rule brought prosperity and peace, security and safety, flourishing and abundance. But there were cracks in the kingdom. Those cracks point to the need for a king who would be wiser than Solomon, and who would use his wisdom perfectly. Jesus is everything Solomon ever was, and so much more.
