Day 217..."Saul death told again...The difference between knowing a name and being known"

Chapter 9 of I Chronicles tells of more genealogy...the returned exiles, and Saul's genealogy. This is followed in chapter ten by the first real story of I Chronicles the death of Saul. In this account, he fell on his own sword. The Isaiah reading (chapter 20) is short and tells of troubles for Egypt and Cush. Today, I will be preaching on this parable of "False Security." The knowing of Jesus' name is not enough. People can and do misuse the name of Jesus for their own purposes. Disciples know Jesus but also are known. There is a difference in serving for the sake of Jesus' name and using the name of Jesus for other motives.
