Abigal: A Woman of Intercession

1 Samuel 25 tells the story of Nabal, Abigail and David. Consider their story. Consider our story in Christ.

1. Each of us, like Nabal has foolishly rejected Jehovah's goodness and stood in danger of His righteous judgment.

2. Like David, Jehovah holds us accountable for our sin.

3. Abigail demonstrates how Jesus bridged the gap between Jehovah and ourselves, interceding on our behalf and accepting the penalty for our sin that we might be forgiven.

4. On the basis of that forgiveness we collectively become the bride of Christ, His church on Earth, entering into an incredible and unanticipated royal marriage relationship.
