Mephibosheth and Me

In 2 Samuel 9 David shows kindness to one of Saul's house.
1. His name – Mephibosheth
2. His calamity – dropped by his nurse
3. His deformity – lame

Is there anyone who sees you for who you are and not what you did? ¨

For two decades he lived in a distant land…
1. Unable to walk to the King…
2. Too fearful to talk to the King…
3. Unable to help himself…

Mephibosheth was...
1. Called
2. Found
3. Rescued

He still needed assurance. Don't we all? “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8; NKJV) ¨

Consider Mephibosheth and David. Consider yourself and Christ. Rejoice in the grace you've been shown.
