Men, Women, and Marriage with God

Continuing our series on men and women through the biblical story, Chase closes out the Old Testament with the prophets. The law could expose Israel's brokenness but not heal it, and by Judges 19, one of Scripture's darkest stories, a husband has become a violent master. Hosea reverses that language, promising a day when God's people will call him "my husband" instead of "my master." This is a God who pursues his unfaithful people with tenderness and whose love finds its fulfillment in Christ, the bridegroom who steps forward to face the mob himself.
