Aside from Jesus, no person is written about more than David in the Bible. David was obviously highly regarded by God. But David is in some ways the polar opposite of Jesus. He is Everyman.
David broke all 10 Commandments at once with his actions when he lusted after Bathsheba!!!
WHAT'S THE MESSAGE TO YOU THERE???
David broke all 10 Commandments at once with his actions when he lusted after Bathsheba!!!
WHAT'S THE MESSAGE TO YOU THERE???
- “No other gods…”-David allowed his lust to be the god to which he bowed in obedience.
- “Not take the Name…”-David took the Holy Name of God in vain as he said he was God’s man and lived like the devil.
- “Not make a graven image…”-David engraved the image of naked Bathsheba as she bathed so deeply on his lustful soul, that he forgot even the God he loved for that moment of sin.
- “Remember the Sabbath…”-David didn’t keep the Sabbath or any other day holy for God once he allowed lust to rule.
- “Honor thy father and mother…”-David dishonored them and all his family as he sank into such wicked and premeditated sin.
- “Not kill…”-David sent the murder request to Joab, so it was not his sword but the arrows of others that David used–but it was his desire that Uriah be killed.
- “Not commit adultery…”-that was the clearest of all David’s law breaking.
- “Not steal…”-David stole the wife of his neighbor and trusted friend Uriah as Nathan clearly pointed out in the story of the lamb.
- “Not lie…”-David’s false response was a lie when the messenger came with the ghastly news of Uriah’s death; and even more, every day David lived in sin was a lie that he deceptively covered.
- “Not covet…”-David broke this law as he so coveted his neighbors wife that he would steal her and kill her husband to share in sexual sin with her.
