You Need a King - Jealous, Part 2

Saul's jealousy had already cost him his relationship with David, his own son Jonathan, and the trust of a nation, but it doesn't stop there. 1 Samuel shows us jealousy in its final stages—irrational, isolating, and utterly consuming. Then it gives us Jonathan, a man who had every reason to be jealous, who stood to lose the throne itself and whose contentment, in the face of all of it, is one of the most striking portraits in all of Scripture. The contrast between these two men is not just instructive; it is an invitation. "Mighty Fortress" by Sovereign Grace Music, used with permission.
