We're wrapping up our journey through 2 Samuel with a powerful reminder: God's mercy is not an exception to His character—it's fundamental to who He is. When David sinned by taking a census, he didn't run from God's judgment. Instead, he ran TO God, declaring, "Let us fall into the hand of the Lord, for His mercies are great" (2 Samuel 24:14).
Here's the stunning revelation: the place where David offered his costly sacrifice to stop a plague was the same Mount Moriah where Abraham almost sacrificed Isaac, and where Solomon would later build the temple. All of it pointed forward to another hill outside Jerusalem, where the ultimate Son of David would offer the ultimate sacrifice to stop the ultimate plague—sin itself.
The question is simple: Have you responded to Christ's sacrifice? The plague of sin is still raging, but God in His rich mercy has provided the remedy.
