Weekly Meditations: Hosea 3; Redemption

Hosea 3 is five verses and very simple.  God tells Hosea to go find his prostitute wife, buy her and have her live with him as his wife.  This is a picture of things to come for Israel, but as we have been seeing, it is also the story of redemption for mankind.

Man has sinned against God, but God in his love goes into the streets and finds us.  He bought us with the blood of Christ and one day he will live with us (or better said, we will live with him) in heaven.

Tonight I'm not going to type much; the main point is that God has already found us and paid for us, the choice is yours whether you turn to God and stay in his house, or turn your back to him, leave and continue in your sin until your eventual demise.

I choose life.  I choose redemption.
