1Sa 20:32-42<\/span><\/p>\n And Jonathan answered Saul, his father, and said unto him, Wherefore should he be slain?<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Davids friend, Jonathan<\/strong><\/p>\n There is little friendship in the world, said Lord Bacon. O friendship, wrote the author of Endymion, <\/em>of all things the most rare; and therefore most rare, because most excellent.<\/p>\n 1. <\/strong>Friendship means more than affection. Strange to say, greater friendships exist than in the family circle.<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>Again, friendship is not identical with the religious hope. The well-meaning, but ignorant, have beheaded the saints.<\/p>\n 3. <\/strong>But while friendship is by no means involved in the family or the church affection, it yet remains true that the purest religious hope is the basis of the highest friendships. Great deeds are never done by those whose belief cuts off immortality.<\/p>\n 1. <\/strong>We turn from majorities and minorities to observe that personal comforts and discomforts are no criteria of action. The question is not as to pleasure and pain, but rather as to the highest obligations.<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>The true friend is never afraid of danger. The son may die by the fathers javelin, but Jonathans friendship is true.<\/p>\n And Jonathan answered Saul his, father, and said unto him<\/strong>,…. Making no answer to the charges of perverseness, rebellion, and folly brought against himself, which he bore with patience, but could not bear to hear his dear friend spoken against, and as worthy of death; and therefore in answer to that says,<\/p>\n wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done<\/strong>? has he attempted to take away thy life? to deprive thee of thy crown? to settle himself upon the throne? what overt act of treason has he been guilty of; that he should die? on the contrary, has he not done many things worthy of immortal honour, for the good of the nation, and the glory of thy reign? and if God has determined the kingdom for him, and anointed him to it, what blame can be laid upon him? nay, should he not be the rather respected and honoured?<\/p>\n (32) And Jonathan answered.<\/strong>Jonathan, remembering the effect of his quiet, earnest remonstrance on a previous occasion, again tried to deprecate his fathers unreasoning jealous anger, but this time to no purpose. A paroxysm of madness seized Saul, and he grasped the long spear leaning by his side, and with hate and fury in his eye raised the great war weapon to strike down his son.<\/p>\n 1Sa 20:32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?<\/p>\n Ver. 32. Wherefore shall he be slain?<\/strong> ] Good blood will not belie itself. Nicodemus, faint hearted at first, yet when Christ was likely to be apprehended, stickled for him, and to very good purpose.

I. <\/strong>True friendship is based on righteousness. Friendship is the outgrowth of righteousness. The most hallowed relationships afford no ground for unjust deeds among friends. The childs love for the father is no excuse for wrongdoing at that fathers command.<\/p>\n
II. <\/strong>True friendship makes no account of personal danger. The world is slow in learning that there is a greater existence than self.<\/p>\n
III. <\/strong>True friendship rejoices in others prosperity. (Monday Club Sermons.<\/em>)<\/p>\nFuente: Biblical Illustrator Edited by Joseph S. Exell<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
