2 Chronicles 13:12Easy To Read VersionGod himself is with us. He is our ruler, and his priests are with us. God’s priests blow his trumpets to wake you up and make you excited about coming to him! Men of Israel, don’t fight against the Lord God of your ancestors! {\cf2\super [175]} You will not succeed!” See the chapter |
“Look at these people! They are arguing with the One who made them. Look at them argue with me! They are like pieces of clay from a broken pot. A man uses soft, wet clay to make a pot. And the clay does not ask, ‘Man, what are you doing?’ Things that are made don’t have the power to question the one who makes them. \{People are like this clay.\}
The Lord my Master said these things.\par “Do you think that plant will succeed?\par No! The new eagle will pull the plant\par from the ground.\par And the bird will break the plant’s roots.\par It will eat up all the grapes.\par Then the new leaves will wilt.\par That plant will be very weak.\par It won’t take strong arms\par or a powerful nation\par to pull that plant up by the roots.\par
God is the One who made all things. And all things are for his glory. God wanted to have many people to be his children and share his glory. So God did what he needed to do. He made perfect the One (Jesus) who leads those people to salvation. God made Jesus \{a\} perfect \{Savior\} through Jesus’ suffering.
