Like Everyone Else

We reflect on Israel's desire to be "like everyone else" as they ask for a king to rule and lead them. Their idolatry is revealed in their rejection of God as their true King and Ruler and the consequence of their sin is, ironically, getting what they want and the fruit of their sin. We remember that in the Gospel, we are called to be distinct and reflections of Christ in the fullness of His grace that defines and directs us. We hope that you are blessed and encouraged in the conviction of God's Word.
