The Scriptures are about God’s covenant with King David, both in 2nd Samuel 11 and in the Annunciation to Mary. The sermon is called “Throne of David, Throne of Jesus,” which is part history lesson, part contrast, expanding our understanding of why the memory of David is part of the Messiah’s nativity. It is meant to encourage us servants to find meaning and joy in serving the Lord Jesus on His throne (which throne includes Calvary). Pastor quotes an excerpt of Henry Van Dyke’s “Keeping Christmas.”
