The book of Psalms is Israel's ancient songbook — poetry, worship, laments, praises. And yet within its 150 songs are some of the most breathtaking prophecies of the coming Christ found anywhere in the Old Testament. The Psalms do not just describe suffering and hope in general — they describe specific things Jesus would say, do, and suffer, hundreds of years before He was born.

We are continuing our journey of finding Christ in all the Scriptures — and we come to two remarkable books, 1 and 2 Samuel. These books cover the transition of Israel from the era of judges into the era of kings — first Saul, and then the great king who would come to define what a godly king should look like: David.
