This week in chapel, Christy Carlin Knetsch preached from 2 Chronicles 30: 6-9, in which Hezekiah calls the people in Israel to return to the Lord. He urges them to no longer be stiff-necked or stubborn, but rather they are to submit themselves to God who has made a great covenant with His people that He will be their God and they will be His people.
Hezekiah, a good king, was determined to follow the Lord’s covenant and to act justly in his leadership over the people. He asks the people to keep the Passover so they would not forget God’s plan for redemption.
