WHEN GOD PUT A KING IN THE FAMILY TREE! 2 Samuel 7:12–16; Luke 1:32–33 KJV The road to Bethlehem now leads us to David, the shepherd boy whom God chose to become Israel’s king. From the fields of Bethlehem to the throne of Jerusalem, God prepared David for a remarkable purpose. Then He established a covenant promising David a royal descendant and an everlasting kingdom. Centuries later, the angel Gabriel announced that Jesus Christ would receive the throne of His father David. This powerful message follows God’s promise from David’s pasture to Bethlehem’s manger, from the manger to Calvary, and from the empty tomb to Christ’s glorious return. Discover why Jesus is the promised Son of David, the Savior of sinners, and the King whose kingdom will never end.
