Arise and Abide

Celebration of the Passover


Listen Later

In 2 Chronicles 30, King Hezekiah invites all Israel and Judah to return to the Lord by celebrating the Passover in Jerusalem. Though the celebration happens later than prescribed and many people are not ceremonially prepared, Hezekiah intercedes for them, asking the Lord to pardon those whose hearts are set on seeking Him. God listens, heals the people, and turns a delayed and imperfect gathering into a joyful celebration unlike anything Jerusalem had seen since the days of Solomon.

This episode reflects on the grace and mercy of God toward those who humble themselves and return to Him. Curtis and Sally discuss how Hezekiah's leadership reveals a pattern of calling people back to God, praying for them, encouraging them, and celebrating with them. Even when many mocked the invitation, God gave His people one heart to worship Him. The chapter reminds us that it is never too late to seek the Lord, and that God delights in healing, restoring, and uniting His people in joy.
