2 Chronicles 9:1-3, "Should You Help the Wicked?" - a podcast by Benjamin Glaser

No one likes being told they are wrong, particularly when they are wrong. 

Whether it is a question of fact or an action, it doesn't really matter. Our pride is often what stops us from receiving correction, even, maybe especially when we need to hear it, yet this is what the LORD does for those whom He loves. 

In our passage this week we see God sending a prophet named Jehu to witness to and comfort Jehoshaphat after his disastrous decision to marry off his son to Ahab's daughter and to engage in warfare at Ramoth Gilead against the counsel of the Lord. At the end of chapter 18 Jehoshaphat was saved by the intercession of God in the midst of the battle, and the King has returned to Jerusalem. When he comes back Jehu has some choice words meant to bring Jehoshaphat back into the Kingdom of Heaven, not by shaming him, but through his counsel to show him that in his distress their is hope found in repentance and faith.



The church today is living in a time of a great harvest. The fields are white and ready to be brought in. The Scriptures tell us that we are to love those who hate us, and what better way can the church love their persecutors and reach those who are lost and alienated in this life than with the beautiful gospel of peace found alone in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

Blessings on your week!
