Judges 10:6-11:40
This passage is one of the lowest points for the people of Israel under the leadership of Jephthah. We are just like the people of God in this story. We reject God himself, the people that God sends, and the very grace of God for a transactional religious idea. There is hope though. His name is Jesus.
In Judges, we see what happens when God's people forsake Him and seek what is right IN THEIR OWN EYES. Even as Israel spirals into chaos, destruction, and sin, God pursues them by providing mediators who would point them to a GREATER MEDIATOR -- one who would not only judge but be judged in their place.
