Chronicles_the First Station
When God’s people were lost and helpless, God inspired the author of Chronicles to write down God’s revelation, confirming to them that God’s promises never change. Although the Israelites went through a period of wandering and displacement, God reminded them that they were forever His beloved and chosen children. God wanted to help them find their identity as “children of God” in their present reality…
Opening Chronicles chapter 1, they see God’s creation of Adam, tracing the genealogies down to Abraham and Judah’s ancestors. This roots Israel’s origins in Adam, God’s creation. Standing on this land, reading their ancestors’ names aloud, they feel connected to the soil their forefathers cultivated and inhabited.
Chronicles_the Third Station
Gazing at the night sky in the wilderness, we see a multitude of stars shining brilliantly like diamonds. But when the ground is illuminated, we can only make out a few of the brightest stars. However, these stars in the night sky are still able to mark directions and represent the changing of the four seasons – spring, summer, fall, and winter. The genealogies covered in Chronicles span a vast period of time, too lengthy to list out every single name; but we can be assured that every name appearing in these genealogies is like a star in the night sky…
The people of Israel asked God to appoint a king for them. The author of Chronicles presents the first two kings anointed by God – Saul and David – before the readers today. Saul was the first anointed king of Israel, but due to his offenses against God and walking away from God, he brought disgrace and ruin upon himself. On the other hand, David, because he wholeheartedly sought after God and revered Him, not only received God’s blessings but also the support of the people. This allowed him to progress from a shepherd boy to becoming the ruler of a nation step-by-step…
Chronicles_the Fifth Station
Previously, we saw God’s chosen David embraced by Israel’s twelve tribes, fulfilling his anointing as king. Yet David was not drunk on power, but thirsted for God’s presence. His first act as king was bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, desiring fervently to build a magnificent temple for God.
Chronicles_the Seventh Station
The Book of Chronicles is a rich treasure trove. Let us begin by understanding the intimate relationship between God and man, starting from the creation of Adam. Then we can focus on how David, with a heart of reverence for God, united the twelve tribes of Israel into a single nation. When his son Solomon became king of Israel and built the temple for the Lord God…
Chronicles_the Ninth Station
From 835 to 715 BC, the southern kingdom of Judah faced successive crises of faith. The five kings during this period: Joash, Amaziah, Uzziah, Jotham, and Ahaz – whether they were pious and loved God, and followed the ways of Jehovah God, not only led to different outcomes in their personal lives; their relationship with God also affected …
Chronicles_the Eleventh Station
David once earnestly called out in the Psalms: “Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
