Summary
David seeks out Mephibosheth, the crippled son of his former enemy, and shows him radical grace by restoring his lands and inviting him to eat at the king's table. This Old Testament narrative illustrates how God pursues us not with judgment but with unmerited kindness, just as the Father extends grace to believers through Christ's righteousness rather than our own works.
Highlights
Just as David sought after Mephibosheth, God seeks after you.
Whatever that thing is in the back of your mind that you hide in a closet that you won't even tell your mama, you can't make it up. Jesus has already dealt with it.
The grace of God always outpaces your sin. There's more of it than you can muster up in a hundred million lifetimes.
