zephaniah warned God's people to repent
Read the Book of Zephaniah from your Bible.
Have you ever felt that sick-to-your-stomach feeling that comes when you’re waiting to be punished for doing a bad thing? You know you did wrong and undeniably deserve the coming punishment, but that knowledge still doesn’t make it pleasant! The terrible sick feeling comes because you know the punishment is coming, and you just wish there was some way out of it!
The prophecy of Zephaniah told the people about a future day when God would judge all the sin of the world. He described the frightful day as a time of darkness, wrath, and destruction. Everyone who heard this news got that sick-to-your-stomach feeling because they knew punishment was coming!
But wrapped up in all the bad news of judgment, God provided good news for His people. Zephaniah gave the people hope because God would save all those who trust in Him. He will protect them from the punishment, and He will fix everything broken by sin. On the same day that God will judge sin, He will make all things right and new for His children! That’s just what the doctor ordered to get rid of the sick feeling in your stomach!
Zephaniah prophesied about the Day of the Lord—a day when God will judge the world for its sin and Jesus Christ will return. Jesus will make everything like new, and everyone who trusts in Him will be safe.
Pray: We know, God, that You will one day judge the world for sin. We all deserve to be punished for our sin, but we thank You for showing Your love by sending Jesus to die on the cross. You have promised to save those who trust in Jesus, and through Him You will make all things new.
