Choose the Jesus way!
Choose the Jesus way!
by: Pastor Ryan Scheibel
1 Samuel 22:17, “Then the king said to the guards who stood about him, ‘Turn and kill the priests of the Lord, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled and did not tell it to me.’ But the servants of the king would not lift their hands to strike the priests of the Lord.”
Apparently, Saul’s servants knew how crazy he was at that point. Their King, their government, had given them a direct command and they looked to their authority and flatly refused to obey it. Disregard it. Not going to do it.
“It’s an order. I’m the King. I’m the government, you must do as I say!” Not going to do it. Why? Because it was an unreasonable and an unbiblical request. So they said, “no,” and they disobeyed. And the truth is “We must obey God rather than man.”
If someone tells you to do something unbiblical, you can say no. Make the decision that Jesus would make. Follow the way of Jesus!
