This exploration of 1 Samuel 28 takes us into one of Scripture's most haunting moments: King Saul's desperate visit to a medium at Endor. What makes this passage so compelling is how it reveals the tragic trajectory of a life that once knew God's anointing but chose the path of disobedience over repentance. We witness Saul, terrified before battle, receiving only silence from God after exhausting all legitimate means of divine guidance. Rather than falling to his knees in genuine repentance, he disguises himself and seeks forbidden counsel from the dead. The irony is breathtaking: Saul himself had expelled mediums from the land, yet now becomes their client. Even more striking is God's sovereign grace in allowing Samuel's spirit to appear, delivering one final message of judgment. This isn't an endorsement of occult practices, but rather God going to extraordinary lengths to reach even those walking away from Him. The contrast with Christ's resurrection becomes powerful: where Saul sought to bring someone up from death through forbidden means, Jesus rose from the grave as our pathway to life. We're challenged to examine our own hearts when God seems silent. Do we, like Saul, seek alternative spiritual shortcuts? Or do we choose the harder path of genuine repentance and trust?
