1 | How were you drawn to Christ? | Hos 11:4 | Ray | 66423 | ||
Hi Robert, I have looked at Hosea 11:1 and compared it to Matthew 2:15 and see it as a contrast. Hosea 11:1, "When Israel was a youth I loved him, And out of Egypt I called (My) son. Matthew 2:15, "and was there until the death of Herod, that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, "Out of Egypt did I call (My) Son." We are sons of God and Jesus is the Son of God. Hosea 11:3, "Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk, [He took them in His arms]; But they did not know that I healed them. I led them with cords of a man, with bonds of love." The Son was there also healing them and leading them with cords of a man, with bonds of love. But though God was calling His people they were bent on turning from the One on high. None at all exalted Him. Hosea 11:4b, "And I became to them as one who [as those who, NKJ] lift the yoke from their jawas; And I bent down and fed them." I would want everyone to have Him "become to them as One who lifts the yoke from their jaws". That would require repentance or "returning to Me". See Hosea 11:5, NKJ, NASB. What draws me to the Lord? It is the word of God. From the heart, Ray |
