Providing a king for Israel was always part of God’s plan of redemption. But when the people demanded a king for themselves, they rebelliously filled God’s place of authority with an earthly ruler. In this sermon, Alistair Begg shows us how God mercifully used even Israel’s sinful desire to model His plan of salvation—a plan that was perfectly fulfilled by Christ Himself.
