2 Samuel 15:30-37
The Story
Hushai came to David as David was leaving the city of Jerusalem.
He was broken hearted over what was happening to his king and his friend.
But David sent him back into the city. David wanted him to feign allegiance with Absalom. He wanted him to counter the counsel of old Ahithophel.
Ahithophel was David's counselor, but he was also Bathsheba's grandfather. He saw the rebellion of Absalom as an opportunity to get even with David for what he had done to Bathsheba and Uriah.
Hushai did what David asked and he saved David's life (2 Samuel 17:15-22).
Hushai served as David's eyes and ears in the throne room, and he laid his life on the line of his friend. he could easily be a dead man!
But he made up his mind to save David's life.
Lessons
Very few friends will help us in our time of need.
But if we have precious friends like Hushai, we are really blessed.
Remember...
Sinners have such a Friend in the Lord Jesus!
The Lord Jesus puts everything on the line for us.
He places us ahead of Himself.
And He died for us.
What a Friend we have in Jesus.
