There’s No One Like Jesus, Our Perfect King
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is 2 Kings 15:27-38. Let’s go!
On verses 27-38: In these verses we read of two kings with two very different reigns. First there is Pekah king of Israel who worshiped idols and as a result much of his territory was conquered and his people taken away by a foreign enemy, the Assyrians (v27-31). Then we have Jotham king of Judah who “did what was right in the eyes of the Lord” (v34). When you read about Jotham in 2 Chronicles 27, we learn that because Jotham “walked steadfastly before the Lord his God” (2 Chronicles 27:6), he grew powerful and conquered foreign enemies like the Ammonites (2 Chronicles 27:5).
What can we learn from this?
1. Worship idols like Pekah and you will end up being conquered and oppressed by a foreign enemy. Worship the Lord and walk steadfastly before Him like Jotham and He will expand your territory.
2. Jotham, compared to most kings of Judah, was a good king, and yet he too compromised in his faith (v35). Only in Jesus Christ do we find a king who is absolutely perfect, faithful and blameless to the end.
