Judges 11:29-40
I think Christianity in its purest form is a relationship with God that brings beauty and hope to the world! But like anything it can go astray. People have used Christianity to justify evil things like wars, terrorism, slavery and sexual abuse.
Many people get our religion wrong. So, my big question today is: How can we have the right kind of religion? We’ll see our answer in the story of Jephthah! It’s a crazy story from the Book of Judges! Our story takes place in one of the darkest times in Israel’s history.
Israel is completely lost spiritually! They have turned away from God and are now being oppressed by other nations. But because of God’s mercy and compassion, God raised up powerful leaders called Judges to help Israel.
He would give these judges supernatural powers that would help Israel fight against their enemies. Today, our main character, Jephthah, is one of those Judges. But the thing is, he is really lost spiritually. He makes terrible decisions that trigger an incredible tragedy.
