Summarized Bible Commentary

2 Chronicles 30:1-27

Contents: Preparations for the passover and its observance.

Characters: God, Hezekiah.

Conclusion: In every true reformation, the doctrine of the atonement must be emphasized. God's grace will meet us in our deepest difficulties if they are felt and confessed and if we approach Him by the blood-sprinkled way.

Key Word: Passover, 2 Chronicles 30:1.

Strong Verses: 2 Chronicles 30:8; 2 Chronicles 30:9.

Striking Facts: 2 Chronicles 30:15. Christ our passover was sacrificed for us. 1 Corinthians 5:7. When He is trusted as the Lamb of God who beareth away sin, God is in a position to heal us and to give us the joy of salvation.
