Climbing Higher~ 11 week after Pentecost

2 Sam. 11:26-12:13a: After David had  sinned with Bathsheba then had her husband killed to cover it up. The prophet Nathan come to him and tells him of his sin. 

Ps. 51:1-12: King David's prayer of forgiveness after the Prophet Nathan comes to him and reveals his sin with Bathsheba.

Eph. 4:1-16:Paul speaks of Christians walking in unity with each other. 

 

John 6:35, 41-51: Jesus claims to be the bread of life, as well as, the manna that came down from heaven in the wilderness. He went on to say that those who eat of this living bread will hunger no more. Here Jesus was hinting at what would later be what we call , "communion". 

The theme is living a life that allows unity. This is unity between our God and our fellowman. When King David looked on and choose to have another man's wife for his own he broke unity with God because he broke one of God's commandments. But he also broke unity with Uriah, one of his men of war. God sent the prophet Nathan to King David to point out to him how his actions of sin, broke his unity with both (2 Sam. 11:26-12:13a). Afterward King David prays to God for forgiveness (Ps. 51:1-12). 

Paul talks to the  Ephesian Christians about walking in unity with each other (Eph. 4:1-16). One way we as Christians do this, is by taking communion together. Jesus hints to that and what it means to do so (John 6:35,41-51).
