DAVID'S SIN & SORROW | THE MAIN POINT

David's Sin And Sorrow

a) We follow more of David's adventures, after he became king. However there is a great deal of sadness in this story, mainly as a result of the sin David committed with Bathsheba, the beautiful wife of Uriah the Hittite, one of David's faithful soldiers.

2. The Main Point

a) Behind this story is the weak side of David who allowed his lust to lead him into a despicable injustice. For this David suffered terrible consequences, even though his sin was forgiven. David's sorrow is expressed in Psalms 51.

b) Even though our sins are forgiven, we may have to live with their nasty effects for many years afterward.
