    Devotion

    Josiah's overarching commitment to the Lord is demonstrated through his meticulous restoration of covenant worship and his zealous, though ultimately tragic, leadership.

    Consecration (35:1-6)

    The priests and Levites are commanded to purify themselves and prepare the sanctuary to ensure the Passover is observed exactly as God prescribed through Moses.

    Sacrifice (35:7-15)

    The immense voluntary provision of flocks and herds by the king and his officials underscores the magnitude of the offering required to approach God in right standing.

    Remembrance (35:16-19)

    The faithful execution of the Passover serves as an unparalleled memorial of covenant deliverance, surpassing any observance held since the days of Samuel.

    Presumption (35:20-27)

    Josiah's fatal decision to engage Necho in battle despite a divine warning illustrates the grave danger of acting on personal zeal rather than seeking God's specific guidance.

    Christ's death on a cross paid the debt we owe God for our sins (Colossians 2:14). The proof is God raised Him from the dead (Romans 1:4).

    This means God can now remain right, while forgiving our sins (Romans 3:26) and delivering us from His coming wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10). It's a free gift for those who believe in Christ (Romans 6:23).

    If you believe, call on the Lord to save you (Romans 10:9-13).
