David as a Type of the Lord

David is often referred to as a type of the Lord Jesus, because many of the events in his life have a counterpart in the life of the Lord Jesus.
* He was misunderstood by his own brethren who thought he was seeking self-aggrandizement.
* He was a shepherd of "sheep" and hazarded his life for the sake of the flock.
* He was a mighty victor over a formidable foe.
* He was an anointed king living in rejection.
Now we might wonder if there was anything in the life of the Lord Jesus that would correspond to what has just been written about David in the presence of his mighty men. Of course, everyone has or will have last words. The Lord Jesus uttered His last words as He hung on the cross of Calvary. Chronologically they seem to be in the following sequence:
1. “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." Luke 23:34.
2. “Today shalt thou be with Me in paradise." Luke 23:43.
3. "Woman, behold thy son!" John 19:26.
4. “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" Matt. 27:46.
5. “I thirst." John 19:28.
6. “It is finished." John 19:30.
7. “Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit." Luke 23:46.
