24.07.02 “Joash’s Trainwreck” (2 Chronicles 24:17-22)

Occasionally we hear reports of a disastrous train wreck, and we see the horrifying pictures of train cars piled up as they went off the tracks. Can we apply that picture to life and ask this question: what does it look like when a PERSON ‘goes off the tracks’ and crashes? Do you know anyone who has?  Come with me again back to Jerusalem in about 800bc. We’ve been following the life story of the child prodigy Joash who was thrust onto the throne of the southern Israel kingdom of Judah at age 7 and reigned as king for 4 decades! (2 Chron. 24:1) You’ll recall the chief priest Jehoiada raised Joash as his own son and mentored him both before and during his kingship, all the way till Jehoiada died at the age of 130. (2 Chron. 24:2,15)
