TOPIC: The Total Christian
BIBLE TEXT: II Chronicles 24
vs15 – But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died an hundred and thirty years old.
vs16 – and they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house. (Study II Chron. 22-24)
Jehoiada was a man of God, a priest in the house of the LORD during the days of the kings of Judah and Israel. He was a lover of God and one who walked in righteousness. He helped Joash who was a little boy, saved him from death, trained him to know and walk with God, in fact his parenting and priesthood was excellent in the sight of God. He helped Joash a six year old prince to regain his throne from the wicked and jealous Athaliah that killed his fellow brethren and princes.
The bible noted this clear fact of Jehoiada as a testimony of grace when he died, that this record played to resound in heaven concerning a total/complete Christian. It reads;……… “He had done good in Israel, both toward God, and towards his house”. Are you a complete Christian? One with the fear of God and a family person? This man balanced serving God and house duties both to his wife, his children, his country and his God. There is still hope for us to walk uprightly in our service to God and humanity as a total Christian.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I desire the grace to serve as a complete Christian, to have a testimony of having pleased you and my home.
Insight: A complete christian must live in righteousness and learn to walk in love and total obedience.
