CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

Christian Education Spring 2020   Unit 3: Called to God’s Work of Justice

This unit has five sessions that explore ways that people are called to participate in God’s work of justice. Zephaniah presents both a judgment against the wickedness and injustice of Jerusalem and a vision of restoration. Zechariah calls for a return to God’s ways of justice. In Jeremiah, God’s rigorous standards for justice are defined, and God’s people are given a choice either to repent injustices by executing justice or to face destruction. Hosea uses early history to call the people to love and justice.

Lesson 1  Prophesying restoration   Zephaniah 3:14–20
Oppression of the poor and powerless seems pervasive in our world. Is there any hope for reversal of this condition? The prophet Zephaniah proclaims the day of restoration when God’s people shall be returned to righteousness, justice, and peace.

Lesson 2  Promising Peace    Zechariah 8:1–8, 11–17
Sometimes people respond to evil conditions in the world with a sense of hopelessness, regret, and doom. But there is hope! The prophet Zechariah delivers God’s promise of a new world of peace and prosperity for God’s people.

Lesson 3  Practice Justice   Jeremiah 21:8–14
Evil is pervasive throughout human society. Can people continue to do evil without consequence? Jeremiah says no; God is a God of justice and will recompense evil.

Lesson 4  Repent of Injustice   Jeremiah 22:1–10
Society often ignores and even condones the oppression of the vulnerable. Through the prophet Jeremiah, God exhorts the people either to repent of injustice and deliver those who are oppressed or to face destruction.

Lesson 5  Pursue Love and Justice    Hosea 11:1, 2, 7–10
People often equate prosperity with righteousness. Hosea reminds us that God has higher standards, love and justice.

About This Recording

PRAYER
Father God, hallowed be Thy Name. As I begin this approach to the study of Your Word I pray that I will read and hear with an expectant mind and heart. Holy Spirit because I cannot understand the Word by myself, I ask that You guide me through this journey with a steady focus on what You would have me to receive. My desire is to know more about You, Father God, and to draw closer to You. Do not leave me in the dark I pray, but light my way by Your Spirit.
As You did through Jesus, I ask You to do the same for me. Give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. Let the eyes of my understanding be enlightened, that I may know what is the hope of Your calling and what is the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of Your power to those of us who believe.
Open my understanding, Lord Jesus and purge me through Your Word, in the matchless Name of Jesus Christ, AMEN!
