I Samuel 13:8-14
Excerpted from: Passover and I Corinthians 10

Moses, the charismatic leader, the type of Jesus Christ, delayed his coming! That is alarming! I will take you to another place in the Bible, just in your mind. What motivated Saul to make the sacrifice that he did (I Samuel 13:8-14)? Because Samuel delayed his coming, and when Samuel was late getting there, Saul took it into his own hands to presumptuously do something that he had not been commanded to do—that was to make the sacrifice. The problem was the delay that he perceived.

Do you understand why Christ said, "Don't say in your heart, 'The Lord delays His coming'"? He knows from the experience that occurred in the Old Testament that if we begin to think that Christ is delaying, then we are going to turn aside through idolatry because we are going to use that as a justification for adjusting ourselves to the spirit of the times we live in. This has alarming ramifications.
