Hope for Sellouts

We all have a price. Whether we like to admit it or not, all of us have a price at which we have sold ourselves to someone or something that is not The One True God. We are prone to making gods for ourselves and making gods of ourselves. In the Book of Hosea, God brings His charge against Israel, lays out the evidence of their rebellion and proclaims His sentence. But the story of Israel’s rebellion and restoration is an archetype for all of humanity - including God’s Church today. We are all a sellout people, but our hope as a sellout people is the God who paid the highest price.
