The King also himself passed over the brook Kidron. 2 Sam. 15:23
Jesus…went forth…over the brook Kidron. John 18:1
It was in rejection that King David crossed the brook that day. His son Absalom rose up against him. Nearly one thousand years later, David’s greater Son, the King of Kings crossed the brook in rejection. How much greater was His rejection. When David crossed the brook he went into a wilderness. When our Lord crossed the brook it led to Jerusalem and the cross. We are thankful that we know it was not the end of the story. —John M. Clegg
O Lord, when we the path retrace,
Which Thou on earth hast trod;
To man Thy wondrous love and grace,
Thy faithfulness to God. —James G. Deck
