Today’s story
Josiah hears God’s Word, humbles himself, renews the covenant, and tears down idols. Reform begins when Scripture is taken seriously.
Paul tells the crowd how Jesus met him, changed him, and sent him. His testimony is not about his greatness but Christ’s grace.
The blessed life is rooted in God’s instruction rather than the counsel of the world.
Wealth can look secure, but pride falls quickly.
The story in children’s words
While God's house was being repaired, the priest found the book of God's law inside it. When King Josiah heard the book read, he tore his clothes, because the people had not obeyed God's words. Josiah gathered everyone, read the book aloud, and made a promise to follow the LORD with all his heart. He cleaned the idols out of God's house and out of the land, and the people kept the Passover like never before. Later, Josiah died in battle, and his son became king. Paul told a crowd how a bright light from heaven stopped him on the road to Damascus, and Jesus spoke to him and changed his life. Paul was baptized, washing away his sins and calling on the name of the Lord Jesus.
It points to Jesus
Josiah responds to the written Word; Paul responds to the living Christ. Jesus does not merely give us information - He calls us to repentance, faith, and a changed life.
