II Chronicles 10-14
Luke 16:13-15, 19-31
Once again I am teaching Sunday school this coming Sunday and I will be reading the lesson passage every morning for the next few days. The passage comes from the Gospel of Luke. I read both passages this morning and both develop the same theme. In
II Chronicles we read of two great wars... one an army of 400,000 faces one of
800,000 and the second an army of 1,000,000 faces one of 580,000. In the Gospel of Luke we read Christ’s
telling of the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man. In all three stories the underdog wins and relates a great
truth of faith found in Romans 8:31, “What shall we say about such wonderful
things as these? If God is for us,
who can ever be against us?” And
another truth found in the Gospel of Mark 10:31, Jesus speaking, “But many who are the greatest now will be
least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the
greatest then.”
We should always look at the world the way God does. He’s often looking at the end of the line.
