Quiet Time Notes

True Friend

Jonathan loved David as he loved himself - 1 Samuel 20:17

God appointed David as Saul's successor 

This made King Saul jealous and he made serveral attempts on David's life

Jonathon stood up for his friend David - warning and encourging him whenever his father sought to harm David

Jonathan would normally had ascended to the throne after his father's death

How was it possible that Jonathan, who should have been the most mad about the appointment of David, was the one who helped his replacement?

Jonathan loved David as he loved himself - he sacrificed himself for his friend

Do you have a friend like Jonathan? Are you a friend like Jonathan?

Who is a good candidate for a Jonathan-David friendship? What would it take for you to develop such a relationship?
