Jeremiah 22:2-3

²saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David — you and your officials and your people who enter these gates.

³This is what the LORD says: Administer justice and righteousness. Rescue the victim of robbery from the hand of his oppressor. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Do not shed innocent blood in this place.

Noah, Violence, and Grace

Article by James Nored & Phil Ware

The story of Noah fascinates children, but the message of Noah also reminds us of the Creator's heart being broken by humanity's penchant for violence. James Nored and Phil Ware remind us that violence is not God's plan, but humanity's corrupt and wicked propensity to injure and mar those created in the image of God.
