MINING THE RICHES
The Friendship of
David & H I G H E R T H I N G S __ 20
As we consider what the Word of God has to say concerning the friendship between David and Jonathan, we also ask what the Lord here teaches us about the vocation of friendship in our lives. How are we to think about and deal with our friends, as such, and to rejoice in the unique relationship that we are blessed to have and share with them? Of course, the story of David and Jonathan is not prescriptive (it does not command what we must do), but it describes a relationship blessed by God in its own day, and permanently honored by its place in Scripture.
