2 Chronicles 36We have followed the chronicler as he has retold the story of the kings of Judah. He took us through the good and the bad – mostly bad – times. Even the best of the kings did not look well when scrutinized by his omniscient-like reflection. The human heroes of the works turn out to be two people who were not kings of Judah: Jeremiah the prophet who predicted restoration, and Cyrus, king of Persia whose spirit was stirred up by the LORD to allow it. Both books are revealed to be less about the bad choices the kings of Judah made, and more about the opportunity that the readers have to make the right choices.
LORD, help us to make the right choices… ones that honor you and extend your kingdom.
