Half Hearted?
Judges 1:1-2:5
Questions to ask as we read the Old Testament:
– God: What does this passage teach us about God?
– People: What can we learn about people?
– Jesus: How does it help us understand and appreciate the Gospel of Jesus?
The ‘first’ introduction purposefully records events. (1:1-36)
Then gives God’s assessment of His people’s failure to fully trust and obey God. (2:1-5)
And this gives us reason to pause and consider our own heart toward God, in the full light of the gospel of Jesus.
