Aim: To steel ourselves in our faith in Christ—as His holy church.
Doctrine: Even in God's discipline of His people, the seed of His hope always remains. Our sin results in our misery, but our faith in Christ overcomes the entire world.
Exegesis: The nature of God's wrath and wonder: sin has consequences (vv. 20-21), grace provides hope (v. 22), and enemies create challenges (v. 23).
Further application: How the church is to respond to wrath and wonder today: we are to be stubbornly faithful to Jesus, even as we anticipate many problems ahead.
Key verse: v. 22 ''...so that through them I may test Israel, whether they will keep the ways of the LORD, to walk in them as their fathers kept them, or not.''
