Mephibosheth was the son of Jonathan and the grandson of Saul. As it is clearly stated, he was lame, unable to walk.
David out of his love for Jonathan and Saul - searches for the remaining descendants of Saul. He treats Mephibosheth as he would Jonathan or Saul... He restores what belonged to the father and grandfather.
This says something about the relationship and privilege of a child. A child is entitled to everything the father has. What does this say about our status as children of God. If God is our Father - then what are we deserving of?
Do we live as children of the Almighty God?
