2 Kings 8-10

2 Kings 8-10

Jehu was one badass. A merciless and ruthless killer in his God given duty to annihilate those who spiritually perverted Israel. Although he accomplished much of what God called him, he went far and beyond of what God expected of him. Eventually he made Israel a political slaughterhouse without the approval of the Lord. Although I've never gone to this extent I can somewhat relate to Jehu. Just like him, if not careful enough I can mix faith with personal ambition and do things without God's consent or blessing. The Bible condones this over and over again. I hope that when people criticise Christianity because of the countless atrocities Christians have made in history, we can inform them the difference between the glorification of God and glorification of self. Thank you Jesus that I can always hold myself accountable through scripture to expose the true motives of my heart.
