Sermon #456

This dark chapter in David's life brings in a new person to the story, Nathan the prophet.  Although David had hidden his sin from others, he had not hidden the sin from himself, and he certainly did not hide it from God.  When Nathan confronts David with the made-up story of a rich man who stole a poor man's lamb, David was enraged.  Yet when Nathan confronted David with his own sin, David repented of his sin and confessed all.  The statement, "I have sinned against the Lord," seems small compared to the mountain of sin David had mounted up.  But we see the fullness of his confession and repentance in Psalm 51.  Our sin separates us from God, but God in his mercy forgives our sin and allows us to reconcile to him.  Even so, the wreckage that is created by our sin still exists.  We still have very real consequences.  Though we often see the sin in ourselves as so much more insignificant than the sin of others, God sees our sin for what it is: a rebellion against his promises and sustaining providence.
