A Severe Discipline  | Lamentations 2 ESV

Scripture says that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Throughout Scripture, God warns His people about the danger with disregarding His commandments. God is patient and often does not treat His people as their sins deserve. However, God is righteous , and His commitment to justice means that He must judge unrepentant sin. Today’s passage describes one of most horrific and memorable times when God judged Israel. Once a bustling, beautiful, and glorious city, Jerusalem has now been destroyed and its people have experienced unspeakable terror. Yet even in judgment, for those who confess sin and turn to God for mercy, there is hope for a restored relationship with God.
