Testing and Teaching His People
In Judges 2:16-3:6, Chris helps us see two aspects of God’s covenant faithfulness—His mercy in delivering His people when they cry out and His mercy in disciplining them when they stray. Through both testing and teaching, God faithfully shapes His people—refining us through trials and instructing us in His ways so that we might trust Him more deeply. In these verses we see a cycle that plays out throughout Judges: Israel falls into sin, suffers consequences, cries out for help, and God raises up a judge to rescue them. Yet, each time, their rebellion worsens. This sobering pattern reminds us of our own struggle with sin and our desperate need for a Deliverer.
