This weekend, your kids will see Judah go into exile for their sin. After many decades of Israel rebelling against God and rejecting his blessings, God kept his word and punished his people by removing them from the Promised Land. Your kids will see the Lord’s sovereignty over all nations, his justice to punish Judah’s sin, and his faithfulness in keeping his promises. This lesson also points to God’s mercy and loyal love: even though Judah was sent into exile, God preserved David’s line, so that Jesus could one day be born to take away Israel’s sin if they turned back to the Lord.
