Show Notes

Although the book of 1 Samuel does not directly mention Jesus, it provides a rich tapestry of foreshadowing and symbolism that points to the fulfillment of God's plan in the person and work of our Savior.

 

We see hidden treasures and glimpses of Jesus in these passages. We contrast the reigns of David and Saul with Jesus’ eternal reign. We see parallels between the anointing of David and Saul and Jesus’ role as our Anointed Savior. As we reflect on a young David tending his father’s sheep, we are reminded of Jesus’ shepherding love. In David’s prevailing over Goliath, we see a foreshadowing of the Lord’s victorious triumph. And in the rejection and persecution of David, we see the persecuted Jesus, who identifies with our sufferings.
