2 Kings 10Sometimes I weary of all the talk of God I hear today. There seems to be something left out. We hear a lot of God’s love, but little of his wrath. Passages like today’s text remind us that the God who loves the world also hates sin. Jehu was commended for doing what was in God’s heart. He destroyed the family of Ahab and the prophets and temple of Baal. We read in the New Testament that when Christ returns, God’s wrath will be unleashed, and his enemies destroyed (Col. 3:6; Rev. 16:19; 19:15). Jesus warns us to fear God because he is able to destroy body and soul in hell (Matthew 10:28). This is consistent with who God is. His love for the repentant does not diminish his hatred for sin and evil.
LORD, give us wisdom to stay on the side of right, because you will have justice.
