Glory Honor and Immortality Eternal Life
Glory Honor and Immortality Eternal Life by George Hawtin. This morning, January 14, 1986, for family devotion my wife and I read the gracious word of God spoken through His faith-ful servant Hosea. Gomer, the wife of Hosea, had borne a son to him and, at the time when the son was to receive a name, “then God said, Call his name Lo-Ammi; (a word which means not My people); for ye are not My people, and I will not be your God.
Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass that in the place where it was said un-to them, Ye are not My people, there shall it be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.” Hosea 1:9-10 Upon reading these blessed words of infinite grace, I had to pause to choke back my emotions. (George Hawtin)
Can mortal man indeed comprehend such matchless, infinite grace as this, spoken in loving kindness and tender mercy to such a prodigal son as the House of Israel, who continually devoured his inheritance with such avid prodi-gality among the harlots of Baalism and all manner of false gods, and now, after his lavish squandering, he sits half starved in the swine pen of his earthly corruption, unfaithfulness and unbelief? Who but the Father, full of grace, could ever have uttered such words as these to a sinful, rebellious people? “In the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not My people, there shall it be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.”
Glory Honor and Immortality Eternal Life
When our wonderful Lord Jesus recited the story of the prodigal son, (Luke 15:11-34), he was in fact re-citing and re-telling the same story found here in the words of Hosea the prophet. Our Lord in the gospel of Luke spoke of a son who was not content with the warmth, love and provision of a kind, caring father, but who no doubt had for many years sullenly harbored the rebellious thought of a day when he could free himself from the wise and kind restraints of his parents and home to have his uninhibited fling, unrestrained and unre-stricted, in prodigal living.
Like almost every boy, he imagined himself to be much wiser than his father. He resented the cau-tions of his mother. They were too old-fashioned, he thought. In his immature mind he judged that his parents were out to spoil his fun, and he would enjoy life without them.
