📖 The Bible Story
📨 An Invitation for Everyone
Hezekiah sends messengers throughout the whole land. They travel not only through Judah, but also into the regions of the northern kingdom of Israel.
The invitation is clear: Come to Jerusalem and celebrate the Passover festival. It is an opportunity to remember God again and to begin anew together.
But not everyone reacts in the same way.
