Bloody Awkward, Isn’t It?

Talkin’ with God about Kings and Kingdoms
2Samuel 21:1-14, 24
Awkward ending and awkward bits all thru these two chapters. Did the author understand how awkward this is? Yes. In the awkward, our attention must be drawn. Our attention then focuses on the endless and exhausting nature of the need for atonement and an atonement that can be once and for all, which is where the story points when it gets to Jesus, who made his mark with a bloody awkward atonement once and for all.
