What kind of love is shown in this story of David and Jonathan? And how might that be mirrored in the kind of radical love that can be found among friends in youth group, among acquaintances in youth group, from leader to youth, from youth to leader, and among the leaders? Is this possible?
David’s and Jonathan’s mutual love was tested later, in chapter 21. What can that kind of tenacious love that is exhibited in that passage look like in our context today? What would God’s love have us do when one of our youth, or our group, is going through a difficult time? What is modeled here?
