En el sermón "Jesús nuestro verdadero David," el predicador Joel Coyoc desarrolla la doctrina de la soberanía de Cristo como el verdadero Rey que cumple lo que David prefiguró en el Antiguo Testamento. Coyoc enfatiza que de la misma manera que David fue liberado de conflictos y se convirtió en rey unificado de Israel, Cristo, como el verdadero David, ha establecido un reino unificado y eterno. El sermón utiliza diversos pasajes, como Efesios 2:14-17 y Apocalipsis 21:24, para ilustrar cómo Jesús cumple las promesas de reconciliación y unificación, transformando a los extranjeros en hijos de Dios. La relevancia de esta enseñanza se extiende a la vida cotidiana de los creyentes, quienes son llamados a vivir en obediencia y amor a Cristo, reafirmando que la verdadera identidad de los creyentes radica en su relación con Él.

The Bible portrays Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promises to David, establishing a unified kingdom and serving as the true head of the nations.
In Scripture, Jesus is seen as the ultimate fulfillment of the Davidic promise. Psalm 18 highlights aspects of David's victory and salvation, but the fullest understanding points to Jesus as the true David. While David was anointed king, Jesus unifies all peoples under His reign, fulfilling the prophecies of Isaiah and the New Testament. This unification is completed in Christ, who breaks down barriers and brings peace, as reflected in Ephesians 2:14-17. Unlike David, who had regional influence, Jesus reigns sovereignly over all nations, demonstrating His authority and power.
Psalm 18:43-45, Ephesians 2:14-17, Isaiah 55:3, Revelation 21:24
The Bible affirms Jesus as the king of all nations through His divine authority and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.
Jesus is recognized as the true king of all nations through His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and His sovereign rule over both Jews and Gentiles. In Psalm 2, God declares Jesus as His Son, exalted above all rulers. His role as head of the nations is seen in the fulfillment of the promise made to David, but brought to completion in Christ’s death and resurrection. Philippians 2:9-11 emphasizes that every knee will bow before Jesus, showcasing His ultimate authority over all creation. This truth reassures believers of their place in His unifying kingdom, where all nations will acknowledge His lordship.
Psalm 2, Philippians 2:9-11, Revelation 21:24
Jesus as our advocate is crucial because He intercedes for us and represents our interests before God.
The concept of Jesus as our advocate is vital in Reformed theology, as it underscores His role in securing our salvation. Scripture indicates that Christ stands at the right hand of the Father, interceding for those whom He has chosen (Romans 8:34). This advocacy provides believers with assurance that their sins are covered, and they are accepted in the beloved. The promise of Jesus’ intercession assures us of our place in God’s family, giving us hope and confidence in our relationship with God. This connection reinforces the belief that salvation is solely a work of grace that depends on Christ's righteousness, not our own works.
Romans 8:34, Ephesians 1:6
