Josiah’s mission | 2Kings 23:-21-25

Josiah was only 8 years old when he became King, after his father's murder. His father had been wicked, as had the Jewish kings and culture for generations before him. Josiah was the grandson of Manasseh, king of Judah, and ascended the throne at age eight after the assassination of his father, Amon, in 641. Great-grandparent: Hezekiah, who, if you remember, ask God to spare his life and granted him an extra 15 years, because of the great work he did for the Lord. When the workers found the lost and forgotten Torah, which was brought to Josiah’s attention and the words were read aloud, Josiah wept, tore his clothes, and grieved deeply for the ways he and his people had turned away from the Lord. There are a number of great encouragements readers can take away from this joyful time in Judah’s history. Listen in today for great lessons about leadership.
