II Samuel 2:1-11

I.    How the King Began His Reign (verses 1-4a)      

II.    How the King Extended His Reign (verses 4b-7)

 III.   How the King Was Opposed (verses 8-11) 

“These events provide us with an opportunity to contemplate the reign of our LORD Jesus Christ.  Our King Jesus has begun to reign, not in Hebron, but in Heaven.  He is the King who in perfect obedience exercises God’s good rule.  His Kingdom really is God’s Kingdom.  His word (even to his would-be enemies) is a word of grace, extraordinary mercy, and kindness.  He is the one who will bring the kindness of God to those who come to him.”  ~ John Woodhouse
