Was trying to sleep for past 15 mins, but couldn't...I think I got this revelation while on my way to sleep....I think I wouldn't be able to sleep until I blog this....
Anyway this is the core of me being a disciple:
Armor Bearer
1 Samuel 31:3-5 (New International Version)
(Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society)
3 The fighting grew fierce around Saul, and when the archers overtook him, they wounded him critically.
4 Saul said to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and run me through and abuse me." But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it. 5 When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died with him.
The armor bearer wouldn't dare to kill him even at a King's request. He was right! As it is wrong to strike God's annointed! As a trained soldier, and King Saul's personal armor bearer, he must some experience in medical healing, King Saul's wound is not fatal and it is still possible to nurse King Saul back to health.
Judges 9:53-55 (New International Version)
(Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society)
53 a woman dropped an upper millstone on his head and cracked his skull.
54 Hurriedly he called to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and kill me, so that they can't say, 'A woman killed him.' " So his servant ran him through, and he died. 55 When the Israelites saw that Abimelech was dead, they went home.
In this case, the armor bearer killed abimelech. In this case it's hard to say it's wrong or right. His master request was to kill him, to avoid embrassment and humiliation. As a trained soldier, and Abimelech armor bearer, he must some experience in medical healing, saw that Abimelech wound was fatal, and there was no way to nurse Abimelech back to health. Rather see his master suffer humiliation, the armor bearer did it himself, at his master's request.
I Just realized the person whom I serve as an armor bearer too died also, seeing my master fall, I fell on my own sword.
Yes, he died to Christ and now live his life for Jesus
I too died to Christ(seeing my master example) and live my life for Jesus still follow my leader as an armor-Bearer
No matter how complex life is...
I really just want a simple life...
