David: Portrait of a Champion (Part 12)

Champions Show Grace & Kindness

In Champions Show Grace & Kindness, Dr. Michael Youssef highlights the unmatched grace of God through David’s kindness to Mephibosheth, the crippled grandson of Saul. Though Saul had persecuted David relentlessly, David chose not revenge—but mercy. This powerful scene in 2 Samuel 9 is a vivid picture of the Gospel: we are Mephibosheth—spiritually crippled, shameful, undeserving—yet the King calls us by name, covers our shame, and seats us at His table forever. Dr. Youssef calls believers to reflect God’s grace in our own lives, boldly proclaiming that only through Jesus Christ can the shameful become honorable. This is the heart of a true champion—one after God’s own heart.
