a. The messengers came and reported it to the men of Jabesh, and they were glad: Before they did not know if there was anyone to save them. Now they knew they had someone to save them. Knowing we have a savior should make us glad.
b. Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do with us whatever seems good to you: Here they deceived Nahash. They spoke as if they would surrender to Nahash so that his army would be unprepared for battle.
i. “The message contained a clever ambiguity, while giving the impression that surrender was intended.” (Baldwin)
c. Saul put the people into three companies: Saul was a man of good military strategy. He thought out the attack before the battle started.
d. Killed Ammonites until the heat of the day…. no two of them were left together: Through Saul’s action and by God’s blessing the victory was total. Nahash and his army were utterly routed, and the city of Jabesh Gilead was saved. (Guzik)
We Have A Savior
”that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.“ Romans 10:9 NKJV
Confession comes differently to different people, some easily and yet others require removing everything they have to force them to their knees.
Jesus the Savior of the world, requires a humble heart and the Father requires Jesus as the only pathway to heaven.
Is Jesus your savior?
Blessings
