THE ORIGIN STORY OF JESUS
Part 32: A Good Start |
|
The Godhead intended for Israel to be a light to the
Gentile nations. Jesus communicated to the people through judges and
prophets. This was to continue until the incarnation when Jesus
would start the ministry of redemption for Adam's sin. The Hebrews
did not like Samuel's sons and insisted on a king. God warned it
would not be an easy road and they were better off with judges. The
people persisted in their desire to be like other nations. Jesus
allowed the Hebrews to exercise their free will and Israel
transitioned from a theocracy to a monarchy. Saul was a good man
with great potential and Jesus never intended to set him up for
failure; rather, it was God's intention to prosper Saul and have him
be successful. He was humble, shy, and meek and he received the gift
of prophesy. But then Saul used his free will to rebel against the
Lord once he started to prosper. The blame cannot be laid at God's
feet; Saul's downfall was the result of poor decisions. |
