A King Pete Kersker - Dec 18, 2025 Starting with the the fall of Adam and Eve, Jesus was needed. Beginning with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Jesus was promised. Now, we have seen that Jesus was described as a pure, spotless lamb (who brings us life) and a priest (who helps us celebrate our victory with the LORD). In addition to all this, Jesus was described as a king. "He will guard the feet of his faithful servants, but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness. It is not by strength that one prevails; those who oppose the LORD will be broken. The Most High will thunder from heaven; the LORD will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed" (1 Samuel 2:9-10 NIV). Hannah, he prophet Samuel's mom, was the first to speak about Jesus as a future king in her prophetic prayer (above). This ushered in the days of king Saul, David, and then Solomon. (This era was five hundred years after Moses and a thousand years after Abraham.) When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever (2 Samuel 7:12-13 NIV). Saul did not follow the LORD, so he was removed from the throne by God. He was replaced by David, who is described as a man after God's own heart (1 Samuel 13:14). The LORD's promise to Abraham (all nations will be blessed through you) grew to include the covenant with Moses (walk with the LORD and you will be blessed), and now king David (your descendant will reign as King forever). Jesus is the descendant of David who reigns as King forever. "'I will be his father, and he will be my son...Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever'" (2 Samuel 7:14a, 16 NIV). Did you know that Jesus was described as a King who would reign forever? How does this affect your day today? (Jesus reigns as King)
