For Day 108 of our "Bible in a Year" journey, we explore 2 Kings 10-12. Jehu’s zealous purge of Baal worship fulfills God’s judgment but falls short of true reform, as he clings to idolatry. In Judah, young Joash’s reign begins with temple repairs, signaling hope for renewal amid ongoing spiritual decline.Questions:1. Jehu’s fervor in eradicating Baal worship in chapter 10 is commended, yet his persistence in sin reveals partial obedience—how does this paradox deepen our theological understanding of the difference between external zeal and the heart transformation God desires?2. The destruction of Baal’s temple in chapter 10 contrasts with the neglect of God’s temple in chapter 11—how might this juxtaposition challenge us to reflect on the theological priority of true worship as rooted in covenant fidelity over mere religious activity?3. Joash’s restoration of the temple in chapter 12, guided by Jehoiada, points to renewal—how does this act invite us to wrestle with the theological tension between human efforts at reform and the need for divine grace to sustain lasting faithfulness?Use my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here
