“And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.”
1 Kings 13:26 KJV
When the prophet who had gotten him off track heard it, he said, “It’s the holy man who disobeyed God’s strict orders. God turned him over to the lion who knocked him around and killed him, just as God had told him.” Disobedience to God in the old covenant had terrible consequences for this prophet of God. In the new covenant, it is all about the Lord Jesus Christ. Because though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. Through Him grace cascaded into us, empowering us with the gift of apostleship, so that we can win people from every nation into the obedience that comes from faith, to bring honor to His name. So now we can cast down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. That’s how we walk in victory, overcoming the world through the obedience of Christ. Amen!
