A Vivid Illustration

In our first lesson out of the book of Hosea, we set the stage for what is happening in Judah, Israel, and the world around them. Once the context is set, we go verse by verse through the first chapter of this minor prophet. We see that God's orders are difficult, but require action. We see Hosea's obedience to God's command and the coming judgment for Israel outlined in Hosea's life. Finally, we see that in spite of the judgment Israel must walk through, God's love and promises will not fail. Be encouraged! God's love for His children is unbreakable! Even when we walk through the consequences of our sin, His sacrificial love is leading the way.
