2 Chronicles 30

(September 15, 2014)

                The center of this chapter is humility – do we have the humility to bow ourselves before the Lord?  All of the children of Israel were, at this time, corrupt – unworthy to even partake of the Passover.  And yet, only a portion was willing to conceded that they were corrupt.  And ironically those who recognized that they were corrupt and unworthy were those who ultimately accepted the sacrifices and became clean, while those who saw themselves as above the sacrifices in Jerusalem became more unworthy still and ultimately were destroyed.
