The sad news of the death of Saul and Jonathan reaches David. The messenger is an Amalekite who claims to have terminated Saul at the king's own request. He brings David the king's crown and some bracelets thinking that David would be pleased. Instead David orders his execution for killing the 'Lord's annointed'. David then sings a eulogy to Saul and Jonathan with the infamous words 'oh how the mighty have fallen'.
These words can be used of all of us. We do not live up to our own standards. We are the fallen ones who need Jesus Christ to lift us up.Sunday, 5 Sep 2010
