Biblical Context (2 Samuel 11–12)

• King David has sinned by committing adultery with Bathsheba and orchestrating the death of her husband, Uriah.
• Nathan approaches David with a parable about injustice. When David reacts, condemning the “wicked man,” Nathan delivers the convicting line, “You are the man.”
• David immediately repents, leading to deep remorse, confession (as found in Psalm 51), and ultimately, God's grace and restoration.

• Self-Revelation through Confrontation: Nathan's bold confrontation reveals David’s sin—not to shame him, but to bring him to true repentance.
• Power of Honest Conviction: Sometimes we need someone to speak truth into our lives, even when it’s uncomfortable. The gospel calls for heart-level honesty.
• Repentance and Grace: David’s response—to admit “I have sinned against the Lord”—models genuine repentance and God’s willingness to forgive.
• Restoration Ahead of Rejection: David is forgiven, though consequences remain. God’s love doesn’t erase justice—but restoration is still offered.
• Great message by Pastor Duane Roberts.
