In literature or in movies, the antihero is a flawed major character who, nevertheless, provokes some sympathy from the audience. Think of Han Solo or Professor Snape, Jack Reacher or Captain Jack Sparrow. In 1 Samuel 25, we see a different side of David. Instead of nobly suffering the injustices done to him by Saul, David seems petty and harsh, quick-tempered and prone to violence. What does "David as antihero” teach us about Old Testament characters and their need for the redemptive work of Jesus? How does the real hero of this particular chapter of David’s life point us to the hope of the gospel? All that and more this week as we turn to the story of David, Nabal, and Abigail in 1 Samuel 25.
