1 Samuel 9: Lil' Benjamin to Feast as ?, God's Flawed Tools - a podcast by KFUO Radio

Rev. Thomas Eckstein, pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church in Jamestown, North Dakota, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study 1 Samuel 9.

Underwriter of Thy Strong Word“See, what was kept is set before you. Eat, because it was kept for you until the hour appointed, that you might eat with the guests.” No one except Samuel knows that God has chosen Saul to be Israel’s king—not even Saul! Chapter 9 is full of dramatic irony as we see connections to Joseph, David, St. Paul, and especially Jesus Christ. God takes a humble man from the humblest tribe of Benjamin and sets him on the Messiah’s path, just as Christ poured Himself out and became nothing before He ascended as Lord of all. In Christ, the mysteries of God kept “hidden for ages and generations” are revealed to us, “those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.”
