Shimei - Cursing and Grace
Shimei - Cursing and Grace
This message traces the story of Shimei, who cursed King David during his flight from Absalom, and David’s surprising response of humility and restraint. Exploring 2 Samuel 16 and 19, and 1 Kings 2, we see the complexity of David’s actions and are invited to reflect on how we respond when wronged.
Drawing on Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:48, “Be ye therefore perfect…”, and supported by passages from Luke 6 and Romans 12, the message challenges us to grow in grace, mercy, and spiritual maturity. More than moral improvement, it points to the Christian Israelite Church’s hope that God is preparing a people, complete in character, for immortality in His Kingdom.
