In this lesson, Evangelist Chad Hale from Fieldstone will discuss Absalom and compare his life to Jesus.
The life of Absalom, son of David, focusing on his complex character—marked by rebellion, pride, and vengeance—but also highlighting a redemptive act in naming his daughter Tamar to honor and restore the dignity of his violated sister. It draws a contrast between Absalom and Jesus, the true Son of David, showing how Absalom acts as a kind of false messiah driven by pride, while Jesus restores and redeems in truth and love. Jesus is the one who gives you a new name. A new story. A new hope. A better King.
We invite our listeners to join us in this biblical lesson and its application to our daily Christian lives.
