There is nothing like Hosea 1:10\u20132:1, 2:14\u201323, 3:1\u20135, or 6:1\u20133 in these chapters. Indeed, with the exception of 10:12, there are no messages of comfort at all from Yahweh in these three chapters. Instead, in poem after poem, Yahweh demonstrates that Israel and Judah are guilty of sin and will be punished. In spite of the almost total lack of comfort found in these chapters, they should not be seen as \u201cgraceless.\u201d They are evidence of God\u2019s grace. He is telling the people the bad news so that they might, upon hearing the bad news, repent. The preacher or teacher needs to learn how to preach the gospel from portions of Scripture like this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_crdt_document":""},"class_list":["post-4715","reading-plan","type-reading-plan","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan\/4715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reading-plan"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
