What Does Faithfulness Look Like Here and Now?
The main thrust of the books of 1-2 kings is to show the reason for the exile of God’s people – why were they kicked out of the land that God had given them. That reason was because it seemed that God’s people seem bent on worshiping everything BUT God.
Kings was written to Jewish people to not only understand this, but to learn from it. We can learn from it as well. What should we take away from it?
Our call is the same as the people of Israel: Every Christian should be committed to worship God only no matter what.
In the end when we see our own unfaithfulness exposed, what we do is cling to Christ.
