2 Kings 25: Nothing to Say But “Lord Have Mercy”

Rev. Ross Engel, pastor of St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Middleburg, FL, joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study 2 Kings 25.

2 Kings 25: Everything is gone. Nothing to say but “Lord have mercy.”

After the third rebellion, Babylon decided to enforce sterner policies upon Judah: besieging the city, destruction of the temple, the king, leaders, wall, and the captivity of most people. In most books, we hope for a “happy ending”, yet, I & Kings shows us that our hope can not be in walls, buildings, or even people, but on the Rock of Christ. “Lord God, in our darkness be our Light. Fill us with Your love by Your Holy Spirit, so that when we, our loved ones, and saints in our church suffer, that we have our strength in You. Lord have mercy. Amen”
