Ehud's Ironic Salvation Forestgate
-
- Kristendom
Judges 3:12-30
Sermon Notes:1) The Introduction of an Ironic Savior | 12-15a
2) The Presentation of a Mysterious Gift | 15-18
3) The Preparation of the True Sacrifice | 19-26
4) The Liberation of the Lord’s People | 26-29
5) The Question of the Lord’s Presence | 30, 15-27
Reflection Questions:1) Is it ok to laugh at this story? Why or why not?
2) Why does the story tell us that Eglon was fat? Is that usually a positive quality in the Bible? What does Psalm 73:1-7 say about fatness and pride? What does Psalm 73 teach us about jealousy?
3) Was Ehud a perfect savior? What kind of savior did Israel deserve? (See vv.12- 15) Should they (and we) appreciate the salvation that does provide?
