In Luke 24:27 Jesus walks his disciples through the entire Old Testament, showing them ways that it was ultimately pointing to him. Here we explore ways in which the story of David and Mephibosheth (2 Sam 9) points us to Christ.

★★★☆☆ In The Intercession of Christ, John Bunyan explores the often-forgotten doctrine of the intercession of Christ, the glorious truth that Christ is in heaven interceding for us. I found this book to be one of those with a handful of brilliant lines, but which on the whole was underwhelming. By the end I found myself scanning for gems rather than soaking in the work as a whole. That said, the gems are worth searching for.

★★★★☆ In Comfort and Holiness, William Bridge explores what it means for Jesus to be our high priest and how this benefits us. Bridge walks through the major responsibilities of a priest in the Old Testament: making sacrifices, making intercession, offering gifts, and blessing the people. For each of these he examines several biblical passages in which we see Jesus filling the same role. In classic Puritan form, Bridge squeezes every last drop out of these verses.
