Fear Or Faith? (1 Samuel 13:15-14:16)

Speaker: Reverend Joseph Poon

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Samuel 13:15-14:16

15 And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men. 

16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash. 

17 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual: 

18 And another company turned the way to Bethhoron: and another company turned to the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness. 

19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears: 

20 But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock. 

21 Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads. 

22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found. 

23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash. 

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Samuel 14:1-16

1 Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father. 

2 And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men; 

3 And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD'S priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone. 

4 And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh. 

5 The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah. 

6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few. 

7 And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart. 

8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them. 

9 If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them. 

10 But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us. 

11 And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves. 

12 And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.

CHAPTER XXVII OF THE SACRAMENTS

1. SACRAMENTS are holy signs and seals of the covenant of grace,1 immediately instituted by God,2 to represent Christ and his benefits, and to confirm our interest in him;3 as also to put a visible difference between those that belong unto the church and the rest of the world;4 and solemnly to engage them to the service of God in Christ, according to his word.5

1. Rom. 4:11; Gen. 17:7,10

2. Matt. 28:19; I Cor. 11:23

3. I Cor. 10:16; I Cor. 11:25-26; Gal. 3:27; Gal. 3:17

2. There is in every sacrament a spiritual relation, or sacramental union, between the sign and the thing signified; whence it comes to pass, that the names and effects of the one are attributed to the other.6

6. Gen. 17:10; Matt. 26:27-28; Tit. 3:5

3. The grace which is exhibited in or by the sacraments, rightly used, is not conferred by any power in them; neither doth the efficacy of a sacrament depend upon the piety or intention of him that doth administer it,7 but upon the work of the Spirit,8 and the word of institution; which contains, together with a precept authorizing the use thereof, a promise of benefit to worthy receivers.9

7. Rom. 2:28-29; I Pet. 3:21

8. Matt. 3:11; I Cor. 12:13

9. Matt. 26:7-8; Matt. 28:19-20

4. There be only two sacraments ordained by Christ out Lord in the gospel, that is to say, Baptism, and the Supper of the Lord; neither of which may be dispensed by any but by a minister of the word, lawfully ordained.10

10. Matt. 28:19; I Cor. 11:20,23; I Cor. 4:1; Heb. 5:4

5. The sacraments of the Old Testament, in regard of the spiritual things thereby signified and exhibited, were, for substance, the same with those of the New.11

11. I Cor. 10:1-4
