Consequences

Now when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, 180,000 chosen men who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam the son of Solomon. But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, “Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin and to the rest of the people, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord, “You must not go up and fight against your relatives the sons of Israel; return every man to his house, for this thing has come from Me.” ’ ” So they listened to the word of the Lord, and returned and went their way according to the word of the Lord  (1 Kings 12:21-24, NASB)

Going against God’s commands has consequences.  King Rehoboam was in a pickle because of his father’s actions.  His dad, King Solomon, didn’t follow God’s law, which said to not have any idols, but to follow Him only.  Solomon had many foreign wives, which was a problem, because late in his life he drifted away from the Lord his God, and honored the idols of his wives.  Because of this, God said that He would rip the Kingdom of Israel apart, and that Solomon’s son would see the consequences. 

King Rehoboam indeed saw the kingdom torn apart.  While he ruled the Kingdom of Judah, which included the sons of Benjamin, the other ten tribes formed the northern Kingdom of Israel.  Rehoboam wanted to go to war, and force reunification, but as we see from the passage above, God tells him not to attack Israel, because “this thing has come from Me.”  For once, they listened to the counsel of the Lord, and Judah stood down!

Even today, there are consequences for not following God.  He wants us to be reconciled to Him, to spend eternity with Him.  But the problem is that we’re all sinners, and God can’t tolerate sin to be in His presence.  But He has a plan of salvation.  God sent His Son Jesus to take away our sins.  Jesus became sin for us and took our place on the execution rack, a Roman cross.  He took the punishment we deserve, and died in our place so that we will have eternal life with Him in heaven.  The choice is ours:  Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and be saved!
