Overview

In the matter of a page turn, David goes from a “man after God’s own heart” to a covetous, adulterous, deceitful, murderer. But God sends a friend in the prophet Nathan, who confronts David with a perfect balance of truth and grace, and brings him to a life-saving repentance. This king received God’s pardon because of the future king who would fully bear David’s guilt and ours.
