After archers critically wounded him, King Saul feared the Philistines would capture and mistreat him. The king commanded his armor-bearer to draw his sword and kill him, but the armor-bearer refused. King Saul drew his sword and fell on it (1 Sam 31). Was Saul right to take his life at this moment? Did Saul have the prerogative to take his own life when he was dying and facing torture? He was already in rebellion against God. In his last moments, Saul would have to choose either turning to God or to control his own end. This lesson addresses life-and-death issues. How should Christians view human life and face death? How do the Scriptures apply? Psalm 139:13–16 revealed that God forms every person in the womb. God’s works are wonderful including everyone that He created. God even knows the days of our lives before He created us. The Christian faith consists of divine principles that endear the value of human life and revere God’s image. Scripture Reading: Genesis 1:26-27 (read by Dutch Dekker)
