Introduction: Grace is the unmerited favor of God, a gift we cannot earn yet is lavishly bestowed upon us.
1. David's Initiation of Grace: Seeking Mephibosheth (2 Samuel 9:1-5).
A. David exemplifies God's grace by seeking out someone from Saul's line to show kindness.
B. This mirror's God's initiative to find and save us when we are unworthy.
2. Grace Overcomes Our Brokenness: Mephibosheth's Condition (2 Samuel 9:6-8).
A. Mephibosheth's physical disability and low self-esteem reveal our broken human condition.
B. Just as David elevates Mephibosheth, God's grace lifts us from our fallen state.
3. Grace Provides Abundantly: David's Provision for Mephibosheth (2 Samuel 9:9-13).
A. David's generous provisions for Mephibosheth show the abundance of grace extended to those who can't repay.
B. We too are invited to the King's table, where God provides more than we could ever need or imagine.
Conclusion: Like Mephibosheth, we come to God with nothing, yet he offers us a place at his table. As recipients of God's grace, let us live lives that reflect his love and generosity.
