Rev. Richard Mittwede, pastor of University Lutheran Church in Austin, Texas, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study 1 Samuel 24.
“And Saul lifted up his voice and wept. He said to David, ‘You are more righteous than I, for you have repaid me good, whereas I have repaid you evil.’” Saul shows true repentance in chapter 24, moved by David’s mercy. In turn, Saul extends mercy to David, sending his battalions home and even acknowledging that David is meant to be king. Neither man was an angel or a devil—they were just men, struggling to walk faith’s path of repentance. David points to Jesus Christ this time by showing his devotion to the spirit of the law, not merely the letter. Even when we’re absolutely convinced that someone’s harm is justified, God desires mercy and submissiveness.
