This passage offers a fascinating look into the contrast between those who love the Lord and those who rebel against him. In Jonathan we see a heart of faith, responding to the anointed king with humility and love. Saul, however, presents us with a picture of those who reject the king in favor of themselves. Idolaters will receive their punishment. But for those who submit to and love King Jesus now, he calls you friend. David and Jonathan's covenant of friendship and love was wonderful because it gives a small glimpse into the much greater love the Savior has for his people, for those whom he calls friends. Seek to know that love and, if you already know it, to know it better.
