A Cause To Fear, And To Hope!

 

Today's verse is 1 Chronicles 17:22

For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God. 

    Hear we have a good cause to Hope, for even as God will not forsake his people Israel, he will not forsake any that have placed their trust in Jesus Christ who died for them. But you might say, God has forsaken the people of Israel! Has he really? Have you not read in God’s Word, what he is doing with them even now? But Paul has spoken to this: Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fulness? Therefore, as we examine Israel, and God’s promises to them, let us both be filled with Fear, and with Hope. For as God hath dealt with them for their transgressions, so must we also give him an account of all that we do. But, as we know that Israel will be Redeemed to due course, so also will all that have been Redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb. Amen.

To God be the Glory
