Modern people tend to bristle at the Bible’s prognosis that there is something fundamentally wrong with all of us: that unmanageable sin lurks in every human heart and desires our ultimate destruction.

In the matter of a page turn, David goes from a “man after God’s own heart” to a covetous, adulterous, deceitful, murderer.

This king received God’s pardon because of the future king who would fully bear David’s guilt and ours.
