After you finish reading today’s Scriptures, come back and read the essay here to dig deeper into the ways we see this specific promise at work in our day’s reading. Then join your fellow Bible readers in the comments to reflect on and discuss what you’re learning!
The Lord made a promise to King David, in the newly established kingdom of Israel that his house and kingdom would endure forever (2Sm 7:16). David lived and died, and many kings followed. Yet still, David was a finite man who received an eternal promise.
Jesus is the eternal King who sits on David’s throne. But more than that, He sits at the right hand of the Father. His kingdom is spread across the whole earth as the gospel is preached and received, until one day when it will be said, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ” (Rv 11:15). In Christ, we are now citizens of His kingdom, and when He returns, we will reign with Him.
