7/4/21 | 1 Sam 2:12-26 | That They Might Know the Only True God | JSBC U.A. | Jim Mudge |
“That They Might Know the Only True God”
1 Samuel 2:12-26
1. Eli’s Worthless Sons
1 Samuel 2:12 Now the sons of Eli were worthless men
Worthless and wicked - a person of flagrant sinful behavior
2. To Know the Lord
Judges 2:10 There arose another generation after them who did not know the LORD.
3. The Responsibility of the Priests
Leviticus 10:8-11
To teach the people of Israel all the statutes that the LORD gave Moses.
Leviticus 17:5-6 the priest shall throw the blood on the altar of the LORD at the entrance of the tent of meeting and burn the fat.
Leviticus 7:28-36 the right thigh you shall give to the priest as a contribution from the sacrifice of your peace offerings.
4. The Wickedness of the Sons of Eli
1 Samuel 2:13-17
The sin of the sons of Eli was very great, they treated the offering of the LORD with contempt.
5. They did not obey or fear the Lord.
1 John 2:3-6 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar.
John 8:55 Knowing The Lord is seen in the deeds of his people.
6. The Boy Samuel
1 Samuel 2:18-21
The young man Samuel grew in the presence of the LORD.
7. Eli Rebukes His Sons
1 Samuel 2:22-25
If someone sins against a man, God will mediate for him, but if someone sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?
8. There Is a Mediator
1 John 2:8-10
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 Timothy 2 :5-6
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all.
9. CONTRAST
But Phineas and Hophni would not listen to the voice of their father, for it was the will of the LORD to put them to death.
Now the young man Samuel continued to grow both in stature and in favor with the LORD and also with man.
10. Conclusions
We have an eternal high Priest
He is the mediator of the eternal New Covenant with God.
He made the perfect sacrifice which washes away all our sins.
We know him if we obey his words and they abide in us.
