Tune in as Pastor Josh continues to teach us from the prophet Hosea this morning:
“Don’t miss the impact of this story: an adulterous woman — a prostitute, is married to this prophet. And then she has children outside of this marriage, which he calls ‘Not Loved’ and ‘Not Mine’. And everyone looking at this story, this real life situation, would think ‘there is no more tragic family circumstance imaginable’…And yet, the loyal love of God, working in his servant Hosea, creates one of the most beautiful pictures we could ever imagine. By taking on himself the full cost of this relationship,… Hosea takes this woman,…and he says now I would like to marry you again…you are the one that I want…your children from other relationships, let’s call them now ‘Beloved’ and ‘Mine’…because that is what they will be. This is what God has done with us…”
