Murder and Mourning — Part Two - Evening Sermon
For David, Abner’s death was a cause not for celebration but for mourning. In his grief, David paid tribute to Abner and led his funeral, while Joab, having murdered Abner out of revenge, was met with a curse rather than a commendation. Joab’s experience is a warning to us, says Alistair Begg, when we’re tempted to advance God’s kingdom in a manner that is incompatible with our gentle, humble King.
Topics: Biblical Figures, Christ as King, Grace, Grace of God, Humility, Murder, Sorrow
