About this episode

The episode discusses the calling of Samuel and his role as a prophet, highlighting the connection to Jesus Christ.

In I Samuel 3, the young boy Samuel encounters the living God during a time of spiritual famine, when the Word of the LORD had become rare. In His Grace, God calls Samuel, who responds, "Speak, for your servant hears." God then entrusts his Word to Samuel and establishes him as His prophet to lead his people. Ultimately, Samuel points us to Jesus Christ--the perfect Prophet, Priest, and King--through whom God has spoken fully and finally, and through whom we draw near to God by faith.
