As we come to the end of the book of Amos two things really stuck out to me. The first is the inevitability of destruction that was coming upon Israel, and the second is the remnant of Israel to be restored.

When I was thinking about these two things, I was brought to the Gospel. Every person is a sinner, and that sin leads to death and destruction. It is inevitable that death is coming for all who sin (not just death here, but the second death, aka Hell). This includes everyone, except one, Jesus. So we (as in everyone, except Jesus) are like Israel, and heading for inevitable destruction. BUT there is hope!

Jesus the one who did not deserve death, died on the cross for our sins, and if we have faith and believe in Jesus then we, like the remnant of Israel, will be saved from destruction.

Thanks for reading,
