----AT THE KING'S TABLE ~~

--"Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and your household."
---[Acts 16:11]
--[Please Read/ LUKE 14:7-15]
---(Parable of the Guests at the Lord Jesus's Table) ~


So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table like one of the king’s sons.
---[ 2 Samuel 9:11]

READ 2 Samuel 9:6–13
--------------
------Mephibosheth saw himself as a “dead dog,” unworthy of favor (2 Samuel 9:8). Being lame in both feet due to an accident, he was dependent on others to protect and provide for him (see 4:4). Furthermore, after the death of his grandfather, King Saul, he probably feared that David, the new king, would order all enemies and rivals to the throne killed, as was the common practice of the time.

Yet, out of love for his friend Jonathan, David ensured that Jonathan’s son Mephibosheth would always be safe and cared for as his own son (9:7). In the same way, we who were once God’s enemies, marked for death, have been saved by Jesus and given a place with Him in heaven forever. That’s what it means to eat at the banquet in the kingdom of God that Luke describes in his gospel (Luke 14:15). Here we are—the sons and daughters of a King! What extravagant, undeserved kindness we’ve received!
Let’s draw near to God in gratitude and joy.
