Day 261 – September 18, 2021
Scriptures: Hosea 12-14, Romans 13 Hosea 13:14 “I will deliver this people from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. Where, O death, are your plagues? Where, O grave, is your destruction?” Romans 13:14 “Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.” The call to repentance at the end of Hosea fits in well with the call to clothe ourselves in Christ. We are invited to a new life in Jesus. That life consists of our love for one another, our care for each other, and a disregard for the evil intentions of our sinful desires. The hope of Hosea contains a call to repentance. Today in Christ we may truly enjoy the forgiveness that Hosea points towards. There is new life in Christ, we are clothed in the life and love of Christ. As we come to the close of Hosea, it is the hope of defeated death that holds up all of Romans. It is the power of the Gospel, the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, all of it! Jesus is King, we have new life in Him! Jordan
