Tell the man who sent you

on 2 Chronicles 34:23-28

“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says” opens both halves of her word. The judgment for generations of forsaking the LORD stands. Josiah's tender heart, his humbling, his torn clothes and his tears win a mercy inside it: “you will be gathered to your grave in peace”.
