The book of 1 Samuel starts with the miraculous birth of Samuel in answer to his mother’s earnest prayer. As a child, Samuel lived and served in the temple. God singled him out as a prophet (1 Samuel 3:19-21), and the child’s first prophecy was one of judgment on the corrupt priests.
In today’s special episode, we feature three first person monologues from Samuel’s mother, Hannah, Eli, the high priest at the time of Samuel’s birth, and Samuel as a child. We explore ways in which the stories of these three Bible characters foreshadow Jesus. Additional scriptures referenced include 1 Samuel:1-2; 1 Samuel 3:1-10; Mark 10:13-16; and Matthew 18:2-4.
