Every generation must make a decision about who Jesus Christ is. None of us can ride the coat tails of our parents' or grandparents' decisions when it comes to faith. King Jehoram, in our reading today, is a prime example of this. Though his father was a king who regarded the ways of God and respected God's Law, Jehoram did not. Who he was married to also did not help him; he had made a marriage alliance with the Israelite omride dynasty by marrying the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel. Together, this couple forsook God. It strikes me that the devil can so easily manipulate us. We are always tempted to think that we are smart, advanced, beyond needing a God who tells us to suppress our natural urges. These lies leave us lost, out of control, and at war. Sin has to be dealt with. I thank God that I live on this side of the cross.
