A Theology of Cost, 2 Samuel 24:18-25

May 3, 2015 Leave a Comment

Cost

Introduction

Text: 2 Samuel 24:18-25 – David refuses to sacrifice that which costs him nothing.

My Sin Carries a Great Cost

  • An altar and a sacrificewere required to make atonement for sin (24:18, 21, 25)
    • God designated a specific place (Mt. Moriah) where this atoning sacrifice was to be made. This location was significant throughout redemptive history.
    • God later designated Christ as the specific “place” where sin would be atoned for.
  • A repentant heart and an active response to God are required for an atoning sacrifice to be actualized and applied.
  • Wrath was stayed in v16, but it was satisfied in v25 after the sacrifice.

Principle: We forget the seriousness of sin – the terrible cost it exacts. Maybe remembering its ultimate cost would cause us to treat it more seriously.

I Ascribe Worth to God and Demonstrate Love for Him by the Cost I am Willing to Pay to Follow and Worship Him

  • What do I sacrifice for? If people could see what I most readily surrender my time, resources, etc…what would they determine I value most?
  • When was the last time following Christ cost me something?

What are you holding back from God?
