Types of the Messiah - Edwards - IV

Required reading

Continue Types of the Messiah in Vol 2 of the Works by Jonathan Edwards (Available from Amazon or free here) by reading up to the paragraph beginning with 'The things that are said of Solomon fall little, if any thing, short of those that are said of David...'

My summary
Today we read of types of the Messiah in the life of David, including
(i) as beloved;
(ii) as king;
(iii) as servant;
(iv) as saviour;
(v) as mediator;
(vi) as builder.

What grabbed me
David is a very good type of the Messiah: 'There is a yet more remarkable, manifest, and manifold agreement between the things said of David in his history, and the things said of the Messiah in the prophecies.'
