Why This Matters
God made a covenant with David that his throne would be established forever. No earthly king could fulfill that promise—every dynasty eventually falls. The angel Gabriel announced to Mary that her son Jesus would receive David's throne, and his kingdom would have no end. Jesus is the eternal King that David's line always pointed toward.
Reflection
