2 Sam. 9 [The Message]
David wanted to honor the memory of his friend, Jonathan. He asked, “Are there any of Saul’s descendants close-by?” He discovered that Jonathan’s son, Mephibosheth, lame in both feet, was resident. David proceeded to assign all of Saul’s land and inheritance to the man and asked him to eat at the king’s table evermore. These were certainly huge gestures of kindness, and spoke of David’s respect for Jonathan.
Jesus is the King of all Kings. He has invited His children to eat at His table in Heaven. The kindness of Christ can be on display through our lives on a daily basis. Remember the virtuous woman of Proverbs 31 who has the “Law of Kindness” in her tongue. It’s a wonderful way to live.
