Now a sweet story. (What a picture of God’s mercy and grace to us as lost sinners, brought into the highest blessings). Mephibosheth belongs to the family of Saul, the enemy of David. What benefit could Mephibosheth be to David? Why did God ever pick us up? Only because of what He is. See if you can see other ways in this story in which it is a picture of us.
V.13 Looking at Mephibosheth sitting among the king’s sons, no one would know he was lame on both his feet. God has seated us around His table. We are fit for His presence because the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ has cleansed us from all sin (1 John 1:77The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. (John 1:7)) Mephibosheth accepts all the favors, and enjoys them.
