Christ comes into focus

When people have sinned and failed to live up to their responsibility, against this sad backdrop God turns our eyes to the one in whom all his promises are Yes and Amen: Christ.

When the priesthood under Eli and his sons had fallen into a terrible state, a man of God spoke of the raising up of a faithful priest, which finds its complete fulfillment in Christ. 1 Samuel 2:35.

When David, the first king of Israel chosen by God, looked back on his life, where there were many failures, he spoke of a righteous ruler who would rise like the sun over the earth. 2 Samuel 23:3-4.

God brings his son into focus and our eyes should follow him.
