Reading the Bible Daily with Dave • Thursday, September 11, 2025
In 2 Kings 23, King Josiah leads sweeping reforms in Judah—renewing the covenant,
tearing down idols, restoring right worship, and keeping the Passover with remarkable devotion.
Yet even Josiah’s zeal could not turn aside God’s righteous judgment; the passage points us to
Jesus Christ, the greater King and true Passover Lamb.
