Jesus is my way, my truth and my life

2 Kings 22:1-20
Josiah reigned 31 years. The writer portrays him as the best of Judah's kings, loyal to God and his laws and carrying out through-going religious reform. A book of the law (probably a copy of Deuteronomy) is found in the course of repairing the Temple.
Reading it reveals that the nation has broken covenant with God, incurring the statutory penalties for such disloyalty. But the faithfulness of the king is taken into account.
Josiah was eight years old when he became king. His mother's name was Jedidah daughter of Adiah; she was from Bozkath.
Josiah sent the secretary, Shaphan, to the temple of the Lord. HE said :"Go up to Hilkiah the high priest and have him get ready the money that has been brought into the temple of the Lord, have them entrust in to the men appointed to supervise the work on the temple.
Josiah heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his robes and gave order to Priest king;s attendants, officials, 'Go and inquire of the Lord for me and for the people and for all Judah about what is written in this book that has been found.
Why?
The king Josiah reigned Judah when he was 8 years old, so his mother played important role. He didn't affected by his father. A woman plays important role in the king, his son.
The book of law is found in the Temple, it might be hidden by some God's servant or priest, it was closed for at east 55 years in age of Manasseh.
Anyone who repent and turn to the Lord, the mercy of the Lord is come upon him, not matter what happened on him. The Lord is full of mercy, he is righteous and hope everyone turn to Him.
This is what the Lord said to Jeremiah," Tell them everything I command you; d not omit a word. Perhaps they will listen and each will turn from his evil way. Then I will relent and not bring on them the disaster I was planning because of the evil they have done."(Jeremiah 26:2-3)
How?
Come to the presence of the Lord, no matter what I did, no matter who I am, the salvation of Jesus is come upon me as who I am.
Serve the Lord is more easy than serve man, for the Lord has more mercy when we walk on his way and obey his words. The most difficulty is our inner sin have to be conquered. The only way is trust in Jesus.
