> According to His promise, the Lord would raise up a Son of David to
> establish a House for His Name, who would reign upon His throne
> forever. Both King David himself, who was the Lord’s anointed, and
> his sons, therefore, anticipate the coming of the Christ: sometimes
> with striking similarity, othertimes by stark contrast. Lent begins
> with David’s penitential Psalm 51, following his fall into adultery
> and murder. According to His mercy, the Lord spared David’s life,
> but the infant son of David would die for his father’s sins. David
> learned mercy and forgiveness from that which he received, such
> that he was a man after God’s own heart. But Christ Jesus has
> obtained that mercy and forgiveness for His father David, and for
> us, by His innocent suffering and death. One by one, the sons of
> David rise and fall -- Amnon, Absalom, Adonijah, and Solomon --
> until that One Who was destined for the falling and rising of many
> in Israel, who would be lifted up to reign from the Tree of the
> Cross. As Lent enters upon Holy Week on Palm Sunday, that Blessed
> One is greeted and hailed as the Son of David, who comes to save us
> now. He gathers up into Himself the sins of the fathers upon the
> children, in order to bear our griefs and sorrows and to suffer the
> stripes of men for the healing of our iniquities.
>
> “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed Is He Who Comes in the Name
> of the Lord,” a Lenten series, will suggest Readings and Propers,
> Psalmody and Hymnody, that show forth the promise of Christ in the
> sons of David. Exegetical and Homiletical helps will be provided,
> in order to open up the narrative history of the Old Testament as
> the story of Jesus, our Savior.
