David gets anointed by Samuel in private. He's the youngest of how many kids? Yes, seven brothers. And no one knows he's the anointed one except for this little private crew. So we get these two aspects of the portrait of the anointedOne. One is victorious. We're confronting Goliath's driving out evil from the land and driving out the oppressor. It's kind of a butt-kicking portrait of God's anointed one.
David’s life gives us two parallel portrayals of what it means to be God’s anointed one: one is victorious—God’s anointed is the giant feller and the snake crusher. The other one is a suffering servant, waiting patiently in the wilderness for God’s deliverance. In today’s episode, join Tim and Jon in the Psalms, where they’ll explore both David’s victory and his suffering and discuss how Jesus saw himself living out both those roles too.
