COLD OR HOT ANGER

[JLG]

78) Cold or Hot Anger?

1 Samuel

- Coming back to Eli’s sons!

- They were priests working in Yah.weh’s house!

- They behaved badly in front of all Israel!

- Everybody could see them!

- Eli didn’t do anything!

- Yah.weh decided the right time for them (Eli’s sons and Eli) to die!

- In the meantime, Samuel was taught and became high priest!

- He replaced Eli as high priest and was faithful to Yah.weh all his life!

- HE COULD HAVE CHOSEN THE WRONG WAY!

- BUT HE CHOSE THE RIGHT ONE!

- IT IS THE SAME FOR US!

- WE MUST CHOOSE WHAT WAY WE WANT TO FOLLOW!

79) Cold or Hot Anger?

1 Samuel

- Coming back to King Saul!

- Yah.weh puts him to the test!

- He is waiting for Samuel to make an offering to Yah.weh before fighting the Philistines to get Yah.weh’s approval!

- But he can’t wait so he offers himself the offering!

- It is forbidden!

- It is so usual for man to act knowing Yah.weh’s disapproval!

- Why does man keep acting that way?

- A strange way indeed!

- He will always pay the price sooner or later!

- Divine justice!

- Divine equilibrium!

- There are so many examples in the Bible!

- And man keeps ignoring them!

- Ridiculous!
