Even the most godliest men lose faith at times (I Samuel 27:1). The same thing happens to Elijah (I Kings 19:3). Israel was not to put its trust in mediums and spiritists (Leviticus 19:31), yet that is exactly what Saul does (I Sam. 28:8). We often look at psychics as people with funny names and strange voices but it is very important that we do not seek their counsel over God's. David proved himself a reliable man (I Sam. 29:6). Can people count on us when they need our help?
Everyday, we see tragedies happen around us in the same manner that they occur in Luke 13:1-5. The point is the same: if we do not repent of our sins and put our faith in Christ before we die, it will be too late then. Jesus knew what buttons to push to make the Pharisees upset with Him. He explains to them in v. 15 how they were already breaking the Sabbath in their own terms. In the end, the Kingdom of God will be all that remains (Luke 13:21).
