Woodhouse on 2 Sam 6
There's no denying that 2 Sam 6 is a hard chapter. We're enjoying looking at it at the Spring Ministers' conferences. But, suggests, John Woodhouse, our problems with the passage generally seem to be problems that we have with the kingdom of God. For example, God's righteous anger against Uzzah is sobering, as it should be be when we consider the extraordinary holiness of our sovereign Lord.
But even more specifically, we have no warrant to go anywhere other than to and through Christ in these chapters:
the earthly reign of David is a token in which we must contemplate the reign of our Lord Jesus Christ and the salvation of his Church to the end of the world.
Calvin by the way (sermons on 2 Samuel).
Oh, and Amen!
