Jesus, The Coming Messiah: Advent Readings from Old Testament to New
December 6: The Messiah as Son of David
Readings: 2 Samuel 7:1-17; Revelation 22:16

2 Samuel 7:16, The Voice
God makes a covenant promise to King David
Your dynasty, your kingdom, will stand perpetually in My sight; your descendants will rule continually.

Matthew 1:1, The Voice
This is the family history, the genealogy, of Jesus the Anointed, the coming King. You will see in this history that Jesus is descended from King David, and that He is also descended from Abraham.

Revelation 22:16, The Voice
I, Jesus, have sent My messenger to show you and guide you so that you in turn would share this testimony with the churches. I am the Root and the Descendant of David, the Bright Morning Star.

Prayer
Hallelujah to Jesus!
Who fulfills God’s promise
A King forever, A Kingdom without end

Hallelujah to Jesus!
Our long awaited Messiah
Our Savior, Our Deliverer

Hallelujah to Jesus!
Hosanna to the Son of David!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord

Eternal One,
We wonder and marvel at your constancy
You alone are steadfast
Unwavering across the ages

You, remembering, gathering a covenant people
You, remembering, fulfilling your covenant promises
You, patiently tending your family tree

We remember You and your greatness
We stand to honor and revere you
We bow in humility and thankfulness
