Join hosts Chad Bird and Daniel Emery Price as they travel through the Old Testament one page at a time. Many people find these old books confusing, but in this podcast you will discover that everything God does and says is meant to fix your gaze on the promise of the coming Christ. You will discover that the Old Testament is actually about the love and grace of God toward sinners just like you and the hosts.
It’s not that David is unrepentant of the harm he has caused Bathsheba, Uriah, and countless others. The point is that David is repenting of the sin that lies beneath these actions, the sin all of us would rather avoid. He names this sin right after in verse 5: “I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me."
David confesses he is a sinner through and through. This sin is even deeper than the horror of murder and deeper than the transgression of adultery because from here springs forth all unbelief, selfish behavior and deceit. Each of us shares in this sin; the sin of self-justification and disbelief in God’s promises.
