The wonder of pardon

How much and how often do we consider the wonder of divine pardon? Here we see the essence of God's dealings with a sinner. Rebuked by God's word, David offers a simple confession. Nathan combining a gracious pardon from the Lord. He reminds David of the penalty commuted, the death that David deserved but was spared. Before we close, we also glance at a shadowy substitution, for sin always brings death, and David's death has fallen upon another...upon Christ, the Son of God.
