Mephibosheth

Having lost his family and been driven into the land of Lo-Debar, Mephibosheth receives an invitation from the King requesting his presence. Upon arrival, Mephibosheth bows in fear and pronounces himself a dead dog in the sight of the King. To his shocking surprise, the King declares that Mephibosheth will now be brought into the palace and treated as one of the King’s sons. Likewise, broken in our sin and alienated from God, the gospel call goes out announcing that a way has been made for our salvation. Like Mephibosheth, we only need to respond by faith to receive it, as the work has already been done on our behalf.
