Is there any hope for the sons of Israel?
But before we judge Judah to harshly let me ask you also...
Have you ever left what you know to be right to pursue what you know to be wrong simply because it brings you pleasure?
Have you ever sought to deceive others to save face, to look better, to protect from loss, or simply out of pride?
Have you ever cast judgement on an individual or situation without knowing all the facts, thinking of yourself as more righteous then they?
Have you ever played the hypocrite?
The question is not just is their any hope for Israel or his sons; the question is, is there any hope for us?
