Summary
In this episode we are taking a look at often forgot story about a man named Abimelech, found in Judges 9. In this story this man tries to take on the role of a king over the people. However, there is a wise warning that comes from Abimelech’s brother, Jotham, about what it would look like if Abimelech became king. Through this story we learn what happens when someone out of selfishness decides to exalt themselves. We are left asking the question: am I the kind of person who humbly serves, or do I seek positions of authority that don’t belong to me? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
