Caroline's Comments
This fall we have studied the stories of David in I andII Samuel. A young shepherd, anointed by the prophet Samuel, at the request of God, to be-come the future King over the united nation of Israel. The throne of power would be in the new city of Jerusalem. More importantly, through David, God could insure
there would be a true servant of the chosen people forever. There would be leaders great and wise and some not so great of wise.
The Books of Matthew and Luke record that a new messiah would be born in the house and linage of David to be King of the Jews — “A Mighty Counselor, Prince of Peace, and whose king-dom would have no end” records the prophets of old. The story of the life of Jesus begins with dreams and messengers from God. A couple leaving home in a forced march to pay taxes and fleeing into exile for safety. “Old Names for a New Baby” is our theme this year.
