Following that special Passover led by Hezekiah, the people went home and destroyed all the pagan shrines. And a good summary of chapter 31 is the last verse:In all that he did in the service of the Temple of God and in his efforts to follow God’s laws and commands, Hezekiah sought his God wholeheartedly. As a result, he was very successful.
Yesterday’s chapter of Ecclesiastes included quite a variety of Solomon’s proverbs, including:
5 Better to be criticized by a wise person
than to be praised by a fool.
20 Not a single person on earth is always good and never sins.
The first will be last, the last first. I think we will be amazed at the justice of God’s rewards. And in some sense, we all will receive “a fair day’s pay.” The meaning of the parable is matched and furthered by the story of the mother of James and John and what Jesus said to them.
