Foundation Building Blocks
WHO?
The book of Judges lists a number of judges or leaders who step in to help or lead the people of Israel when they are struggling against an enemy. In Judges 2-3, we are introduced to the judges Othniel, Ehud, and Shamgar.
WHAT?
Chapters 2-3 of Judges explain Joshua’s death and the beginning of a disappointing cycle for Israel. The people turn from God, suffer punishment, and cry out for help. God sends rescue through a judge, and then Israel fails again. The entire book follows this pattern.
WHERE?
The Israelites have conquered the land God promised them-for the most part. The book of Joshua reminds us often that they didn’t drive everyone out of the land, which means they are still surrounded by ungodly cultural influences.
WHEN?
Moses led the Israelites throughout their desert wanderings. After Moses’ death, Joshua took his place. Under Joshua’s leadership, the Israelites serve God and conquer the land. In the book of Judges, after Joshua dies, the people lack a godly leader and start to go astray.
CONNECTING TO GOD’S BIG STORY
God showed mercy on the Israelites by sending judges to save them. This was merciful because they did not deserve this. In Jesus, God was willing to die for people who were still sinners (Romans 5:8). No one is deserving, but God is still merciful.
