Who spoke to Samuel?

God spoke to Samuel and Samuel listened.

 

Hannah had a good life but one thing for her was missing. Hannah wanted a child. At the tabernacle, Hannah became distressed and prayed that God would give her a son. God granted Hannah’s prayer and a year later she gave birth to a son named Samuel. As she had promised, Hannah brought young Samuel to the tabernacle to serve God. God spoke to Samuel and gave him a harsh message for Eli and his family. Samuel was used by God to share His Word, but the Gospel of John tells us that Jesus is the Word. Samuel told people what God wanted them to do, but Jesus showed people through His life how God wanted them to live. Jesus ultimately freed people from the power of sin by dying on the cross.
