2 Kings 11: Even at 7 years old, long live the King.

Rev. Matthew Tooman, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Wahpeton, ND, joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study 2 Kings 11. The lineage of David had to be preserved and the LORD used His people to assure that the last lineage of David, 7 year-old Joash, would become king. This is proof again that God preserves His Church and His guiding hands keeps us in His grace. When the people said, “Long live the king”, it is similar to our confession of faith, “Forever live the King of Kings”, for the kingdom of Christ will last forever. “Lord Jesus, You are our King of Kings. It is clear that You are the one we are to trust as You prove that power is not from our actions, but by Your weakness on the cross we have the power of Your salvation. Lord have mercy. Amen”
