www.truthforlife.org || By: Alistair Begg - (1 Samuel 14:24-52) On the heels of victory against the Philistines, Saul found himself waging a new battle-a spiritual war within his own heart. His desire to vanquish enemies in his own strength led him to place a rash oath on the Israelites. This foolish decision led the people to obey manmade laws rather than God’s divine commands. As Alistair Begg teaches, however, Saul’s failed leadership reminds us to fix our eyes on Jesus, the one true King who never fails or disappoints His people.

"Very interesting, isn't it? How some of us, in failing to obey the clear commands of God, come up with some very interesting commands for other people. Why not just obey God's commands? Instead of having to come up with your own?" Ouch, my pride needed that.

I find it surprising that Alistair seems to have skipped over the cross shaped hole in this passage. There are obvious parallels with the fall and redemption of mankind achieved by Jesus. A taste of honey vs A bite of the forbidden fruit. The curse caused by our sin of breaking God's Law. It was a reverse in this situation whereby the people were innocent and the son was guilty. There was also the sacrifice that wasn't carried out similar to the situation of Abraham and Isaac. But Jesus eventually paid the death penalty, in obedience to God the Father. However I will let him off with it this time as it may just be a symptom of Biblical over familiarity. Also he doesn't seem to be the only one and in fairness there are a number of other areas that can be highlighted in this text such as Saul's reliance on the flesh and his reliance on religion by the construction of the Altar.
