The One Year Bible - Day 165

1 Kings 13: A prophet denounces the king and is then punished with death for disobeying God even though sometime (untruly) said that an angel told him to disobey God. Why so harsh? I think God deals with people harshly if they have more responsibility. From those who have been given much, much is expected!
The prophet quite simply knew the seriousness of his message otherwise he wouldn't have taken the message to Jeroboam so he also knew that when God said, "don't eat anything", He meant, "don't eat anything"!
A new Christian might have excuses before God but those of us who have been believers for ages have no excuses!
