Until There Was No Remedy | Lord’s Day Sermon | 1st September, 2024 | Kwaw Andam

One of the saddest periods in redemptive history is narrated or chronicled in the thirty second chapter of Chronicles. King after king of Judah is recorded as doing what was evil in the sight of the Lord. The entire council of the nation of Judah and all the people were exceedingly unfaithful, perverse in their ways and turning against every law of the LORD.

Sin is powerful. It sits deeply rooted in the heart of all men and will find expression in the most unrelenting ways it can devise. It drives the thoughts and actions of kings, rulers, men, women and children in all nations and through all generations. Left without restraint, it goes on and on, unto certain destruction. Indeed, destruction is the certain end of the sin trajectory. 

We see the trajectory in the thirty second chapter of Chronicles as many kings progressively turned against the LORD, the God of Judah. In his mercy, God provided a means of turning away and making an escape from the destruction that lay ahead. But the people had other ideas. In their rebellious ways they carried on, mocking the very God that had offered them a way of escape until there was no remedy. 

God is compassionate and merciful, not wishing that any should perish. And he has made a way of escape. In this sermon, Deacon Kwaw Andam took us through this narrative as he beamed the light on the consequences of unrepentant rebellion against God, but very importantly, the power of God's mercies to save us. A remedy has been provided for us in Christ.
