Our older brother Jesus has saved us - but there's work to do...

It matters what we look at—but even more, it matters how we see.

Christian, remember what story you live in. Whatever struggles or challenges are going on in your life today, they are but skirmishes in a long spiritual war that began in the garden and will end when Satan is cast into the lack of fire forever.

God does not need defending; we do need to trust Him.

God does not want some sacrifice here and there. He wants our lives.

Instead of "go and do likewise," today's passage causes us to reflect on the way that selfish thoughtlessness brings suffering to us and others—and how Jesus is our rescue.

Jonathan trusted God and then took thoughtful, deliberate action. What can we learn from him about ourselves—and our Saviour?

The point of this chapter is that there is no such thing as a "small" disobedience. There is no such thing as tiny sin. There are no circumstances, however dire, that justify disobedience.

This is why God will not forsake His people.

Good beginnings are worthless without a strong ending.
