Zephaniah: Just, Love

 

The prophets often brought a message of repentance to God’s people. Zephaniah was no exception. More than any other prophet, he focused on a coming Day of the Lord when God himself would reckon with the world’s unrighteousness. And to our surprise, that often included his own people.

Themes of justice and judgment are seen vividly throughout most of Zephaniah’s words. But not without hope. Through repentance and faith, God offers his people the protection they need from the judgment they deserve. Not only does his justice cut both ways, but so does his grace.

The Day of the Lord is coming. May God use the often overlooked words of Zephaniah to help us find our hope and hiding place in Christ!
