”In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.“
Judges 21:25 KJV
In those days, Israel had no king, and everyone did whatever they wanted to. This book was compiled by Samuel, the last judge, who when the twelve tribes of Israel asked him for a king, he told them that they were refusing the true King for an earthly king. They insisted on it even after Samuel warned them of having an earthly ruler. When we become familiar with the splendour and majesty of our God, and forget to thank Him, we lose accountability with Him and the reverence for God departs from us. Hearts are hardened today because people’s conscience is deadened to the greatness of Christ’s sacrifice and finished work of the Cross. When the Body of Christ recognises the awesomeness with reverence, of the Blood of Christ, Who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, our consciences will be cleansed from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! Let’s bow down with thanksgiving to the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world. Worthy is the Lamb. Amen!
