2 Kings 22:1–10; 23:1–3 • Finding the book of the law
The beginning of Advent is a time for repentance, longing, and new hope — the renewal of hope. The story in Kings of Josiah’s reform was just such a time — the rediscovery of the true foundation of the covenant relationship with their God. This mysterious story shapes us in readiness for the opportunity of a New Covenant relationship that is about to be forged by the ultimate mediator between humanity and God.
