Friendship

This Sunday, I preached on 1 Samual 20 — the friendship of David and Jonathan, surely one of the most profoundly moving and passionate friendships in recorded history. Jonathan is the personification of self-denial, submission, and loyalty. David appears as a man who embodies honor and commitment. Here are two “princes” caught up in enormous events of cosmic significance, and yet they manage to show a loyalty so sublime and uncommon that there is little to parallel this God-revealed story in all the annals of Western litreature. How tragic that the manly beauty of this relationship has been twisted and perverted by the same sodomite thinkers that were ultimately behind last Friday’s horrific United States Supreme Court attack on the Constitution, the common law, and the higher Law which is the foundation of both.
