Movin' On Up

Bottom line: God invites us to His table of grace as sons and daughters to enjoy His provision for us because of His love for His Son, Jesus.

When it comes to our “movin’ on up” in God’s Kingdom, it’s not the result of self effort, energy, hard work, etc. It’s because of God’s grace. And the most poignant example of a “movin’ on up” story of grace in the OT is found in King David’s outpouring of grace to an unknown, crippled kid of Jonathan named Mephibosheth. The story of Mephibosheth’s “movin’ on up” from a place of barrenness and desolation to the King’s palace and provision is a story of grace. It illustrates the reality of salvation in the life of every believer.
