Yes, this is the 3rd post of Alistair Begg’s continuing sermon series on 2 Samuel 7 . But it is actually , the 5th post, starting with Day 122 of our read through the Bible, read on 09/23/2020. But I concur with Alistair, I still feel I am “rushing” through it. But then, if I get to my post on the Philemon 1 post. one chapter and one page, I suspect I will have the identical reflection as well.
This is Sunday, February 7th and this particular sermon was actually delivered in the Sunday evening service at Parkside church in Cleveland week ago , part two of two of just these verses 8 through 17 of Chapter two of 2 Samuel. So , up front , Alistair noted that a member in the ride up the elevator proclaimed: “I am so looking forward to your fourth attempt at 2 Samuel 7.” It drew the appropriate laughter to the “in the flesh” worshippers in the sanctuary.
But , what a sublime mystical book-end to that front end comment, as Alistair recounts visiting a very elderly lady on her deathbed soon to be heading out for that much anticipated face-to-face meeting with her Lord and Saviour. It is the poem she wanted to hear, for she was not capable of singing it anymore. And from that a lady in the congregation has a shout out amen type response that points back to the front end comment. Priceless!: This one being in Kingdom terms , not worldly terms! The real priceless!
Soli Deo Gloria indeed!
