Today’s Devotional: 2 Chronicles 30

Hezekiah and Judah keep the Passover Feast. This was the first Passover Feat that had been kept in a long time, and in God’s prescribed manner.

Looking at the full scriptural context of the Passover Feast in what it represented, what is the fulfillment of it, and what it was to be a reminder of to the Children of Israel and the nation of Israel for them to look forward to the expectant hope of. Verse 5, we’re told it had not been conducted or remembered in a long time, and in the manner God had instructed. So even if it had been kept in some years they did not remember it properly and conduct it in the manner God had instructed, so it may have had an appearance of being Godly but was far from it. They did not remember who was their Passover lamb and by who’s work and who provided, and they were not looking forward to who their true Passover Lamb would be. That the Messiah who was to come would cover them by His work and His blood and thus allowing the eternal separation from God to pass by them.

For us today looking back we see that our one and only atonement for our sin is through and by the death of Jesus upon the cross, then His blood which covers all sin, as sin demands an eternal payment for its offense. This payment and work can only be applied as God has set forth for our propitiation of our sin to be accepted for us by and through Jesus Christ. Every individual to have ever lived, our forgiveness and payment has already been accepted by God and thus it now only needs to be accepted individually.

In a court of law for the award of inheritance to be carried out to it’s true intended party, it must be accepted by both parties. And the same as with the Thessalonians in the first chapter, as Paul wrote to them, that they wanted to share the great news of the awarding inheritance to all and they did so no matter what the cost was to them and their life; we too also see Hezekiah had this same desire to share in this great new and fest of the Passover with others and this is true evangelism, and Hezekiah did not do any of this until what we read in 2 Chronicles 29, that he found, read, and obeyed the instruction of the Lord and Hezekiah did not stop there but he kept the Word of the Lord close.
