"The Lost Book"
Message by Pastor Bill Tucker
Josiah becomes king as a child. Years into his reign, workers repairing the Temple make a startling discovery: the Book of the Law has been lost inside God's own house. The book God gave His people to live by was buried under neglect. That detail alone tells us how far Judah had fallen.

When the book is read to Josiah, he tears his robes. He doesn't explain it away. He doesn't negotiate. He repents. His response is the question this story leaves with us: what happens when we actually hear God's Word? What would it mean to receive it as if for the first time? Jesus is the Word made flesh. He was never lost. He came looking for us.
