And the end for Judah comes… with a rapid fire narrative Judah moves from the faithful days of Josiah to the punishment of its captivity.
The Lord will be avenged and He will punish the faithless. Writing those words can make the Lord sound harsh. But sin will be judged.
Judah knew better but continued to sin over and over again. Finally the Lord determined it was time to punish. Sin will be punished.
The situation of Judah causes me to appreciate all the more Jesus and the forgiveness and righteousness that comes through faith in Jesus. Judah needed a savior. I need a savior and God provided what was needed when He sent Jesus in the incarnation.
I sit ever thankful for Jesus and the gift faith in Jesus brings…
Have you put your faith in Jesus? Tomorrow we begin reading Romans which is possibly the best explanation of the wonders faith in Jesus brings…
Thank You, Lord God for Jesus and the gift of faith, forgiveness, righteousness and all the blessings that come through knowing, believing and following Jesus as Lord. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
