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.

Good fortune of 4 lepers

The Night the Siege Was Lifted

Outside the city gates of Samaria, four men sat huddled together. Their bodies bore the marks of leprosy, their spirits weighed down not only by sickness but by the crushing famine within the city and the deadly siege surrounding it. One of them finally broke the silence.

“Why are we just sitting here, waiting to die?” he asked.

“If we try to go into the city, the famine will kill us,” another said grimly.

“And if we stay out here?” a third muttered.

“We die anyway,” the fourth answered. A long pause followed. Then one of them looked toward the enemy lines.

“There’s only one chance left,” he said. “Let’s go to the camp of the Arameans and surrender. If they let us live, we live. If they kill us… well, we’re no worse off.”

So as dusk fell, the four men rose to their feet and made their way toward the Aramean camp.

But when they arrived at the edge of the camp, something was strange. No guards. No sentries. No shouting. Not even a whisper.

Tent flaps flapped in the breeze. Horses stood tethered. Donkeys brayed softly in the shadows. But there was not a soul in sight.

They stepped cautiously into one of the tents. Inside, a feast lay spread across the table—bread, wine, roasted meat. Their empty stomachs took over, and they ate and drank until they were full. Gold and silver gleamed in the corners. Fine clothing hung on pegs.

They grabbed what they could and ran off to hide it. Then they came back, entered another tent, and did the same—eating, gathering, hiding.

But then, something stopped them. One of them looked at the others and spoke.

“What we’re doing isn’t right. This is a day of good news. If we keep it to ourselves, we’ll be held accountable. We need to go now and tell the king’s household.”

Without delay, they rushed back to the city and called out to the gatekeepers.

“We went to the Aramean camp,” they shouted, “and no one is there! Not a single voice! The horses and donkeys are still tied up, and the tents are all left just as they were.”

The gatekeepers relayed the message up the chain, until the news reached the palace.

Jesus Is God – John 1:1

.
NET ©	In the beginning 1  was the Word, and the Word was with God, 2  and the Word was fully God. 3

The Bible teaches that Jesus is not merely someone who is a lot like God, or someone who has a very close walk with God. Rather, Jesus is the Most High God himself. Titus 2:13 says that as Christians we are “looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.” Upon seeing the resurrected Christ, Thomas cried out, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28). Likewise, the book of Hebrews gives us God the Father’s direct testimony about Christ: “But of the Son he says, ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever" and the gospel of John calls Jesus “the only begotten God” (John 1:18).

Another way the Bible teaches that Jesus is God is by showing that he has all of the attributes of God. He knows everything (Matthew 16:21; Luke 11:17; John 4:29), is everywhere (Matthew 18:20; 28:20; Acts 18:10), has all power (Matthew 8:26–27; 28:18; John 11:38–44; Luke 7:14–15; Revelation 1:8), depends on nothing outside of himself for life (John 1:4; 14:6; 8:58), rules over everything (Matthew 28:18; Revelation 1:5; 19:16;), never began to exist and never will cease to exist (John 1:1; 8:58), and is our Creator (Colossians 1:16). In other words, everything that God is, Jesus is. For Jesus is God.

From <https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/how-can-jesus-be-god-and-man#jesus-is-god>

And the Word was God (kai qeo hn o logo). By exact and careful language John denied Sabellianism by not saying o qeo hn o logo. That would mean that all of God was expressed in o logo and the terms would be interchangeable, each having the article. The subject is made plain by the article (o logo) and the predicate without it (qeo) just as in John 4:24 pneuma o qeo can only mean "God is spirit," not "spirit is God." So in 1 John 4:16 o qeo agaph estin can only mean "God is love," not "love is God" as a so-called Christian scientist would confusedly say. For the article with the predicate see Robertson, Grammar_, pp. 767f. So in John 1:14 o Logo sarx egeneto, "the Word became flesh," not "the flesh became Word." Luther argues that here John disposes of Arianism also because the Logos was eternally God, fellowship of Father and Son, what Origen called the Eternal Generation of the Son (each necessary to the other). Thus in the Trinity we see personal fellowship on an equality.

From <https://www.biblestudytools.com/commentaries/robertsons-word-pictures/john/john-1-1.html>

The Word (John 1:1–3, 14) Much as our words reveal to others our hearts and minds, so Jesus Christ is Gods Word to reveal His heart and mind to us. “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father” (John 14:9). A word is composed of letters, and Jesus Christ is Alpha and Omega” (Rev. 1:11), the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. According to Hebrews 1:1–3, Jesus Christ is God’s last Word to mankind, for He is the climax of divine revelation.

Jesus Christ is the eternal Word (vv. 1–2). He existed in the beginning, not because He had a beginning as a creature, but because He is eternal. He is God and He was with God. “Before Abraham was, I am” (John 8:58).  -- WWW
