Bern Leckie and Owen Lynch share thoughts and feelings about Chronicles from book 1 chapter 22 to book 2 chapter 16.
It’s become very noticeable that this account of Israel’s history has a different perspective and purpose from other versions of the same stories in the Bible. Some people like David and Solomon look like better versions of themselves, but why?
Other books were probably written to warn Israel of the dangers of separating from God, but Chronicles seems written to encourage Israel about the benefits of getting back together. In particular, after the exile of God’s people, some felt the opportunity to regroup and rebuild in Jerusalem would bring about the restoration of the kingdom of God.
So this account remembers past glory. Who wouldn’t want to regain it? Hadn’t God promised that if his people turn and seek him, he will heal their land? (Bern has views on how we pray this prayer today, though…)
In the next part of our boxset, we finish Chronicles and look at what it says about some of the best and worst leaders. Listen along at your own pace at severnvineyard.org/bible.
