We often inherit the outward appearance, voice, and mannerisms of our parents. Sadly, we also inherit their sinful hearts, including many of the specific sins they model for us in our youth. In 2 Samuel 13, Amnon engages in gross sexual sin just as his father, David, had done. Sin creates a tragic cycle that ensnares every descendant of Adam and Eve. But a greater Son has come from David’s line who is just like His Father in heaven. He is able to free us from sin’s deadly cycle and increasingly transform us into His likeness by grace.
Passage: 2 Samuel 13:1-22
