You can find Jesus and the gospel in 1 Kings—but not spelled out like in the New Testament. This book shows how God’s people struggled with their kings, proving that no human leader is perfect. That’s exactly why we need Jesus—the perfect king who never fails.

When you read 1 Kings, look for these key moments that point to Jesus:

• God’s promise to David about an everlasting kingdom in 2 Samuel 7:12-16 sets the foundation. Psalm 89:3-4 and Luke 1:32-33 remind us that Jesus is the fulfillment—the eternal King who will reign forever.

• Solomon’s temple, described in 1 Kings 6, was a sign of God’s presence with His people. But Jesus tells us in John 2:19-21 that He is the true temple where God dwells among us. Colossians 1:19 confirms that all the fullness of God lives in Him.

• The repeated cycle of rebellion, judgment, and mercy—like in 1 Kings 11:9-13 and 1 Kings 14:7-16—shows how much humanity needs a Savior. Romans 3:23-24 and 1 John 1:9 explain how Jesus offers forgiveness and restoration to everyone who comes to Him.

So if you’re just skimming 1 Kings looking for Jesus’ name, you’ll miss what’s really going on. But if you dig deeper, you’ll see how the story points to Jesus’ perfect kingdom and salvation. It’s proof that God’s plan has been unfolding all along.

For further study and theological insight, these books are highly recommended:

• “The Gospel According to Jesus” by John F. MacArthur (Zondervan, 1988) — explains how Old Testament promises point to Christ.

• “Christ in the Old Testament” by James M. Boice (Baker Books, 1982) — detailed study of types and shadows of Jesus throughout the Old Testament.
