ATTRIBUTES OF DAVID IN ISAIAH: THE SURE MERCIES OF DAVID
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Attributes Of David In Isaiah
a) Although David's name is written only ten times in all the book of Isaiah, his memory was highly honored in Isaiah’s time. King David had established the throne in Jerusalem almost three centuries earlier. He was the patriarch and hero of Jerusalem’s royal family.
b) Here is one of the seven attributes of David mentioned in Isaiah, and what it signifies for us.
2. The Sure Mercies Of David
Isaiah 55:3
3 “Incline your ear and come to Me.
Listen, that you may live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
According to the faithful mercies shown to David.
a) Isaiah speaks of "the sure (or faithful) mercies of David" that is to say the blessings which God bestowed upon him. The heart of these blessings is that God has compassion and abundantly pardons those who forsake their wickedness and return to him (Isaiah 55:6-7). God pardoned David, and David’s contrite prayer for forgiveness and a clean heart is very beautiful (Psalms 51:1-17).
b) The "sure mercies of David" represent God’s compassion for the whole world and his willingness to forgive all sins through Christ (John 3:16, Acts 13:32-38).
c) Isaiah looked forward to the Christ who was willing to "render himself as a guilt offering" and who "poured himself out unto death" and thus "bore the sin of many" (Isaiah 53:10-12).
