Book of Joel

The book of Joel is a prophecy of both judgment and grace, both for God’s people in the Old Testament, but also for all people, even to the end of time.  We see that God is a judge, but that he is a perfectly just judge.  But even beyond his justice, we also see that he is a God of forgiveness and grace who desires to see us repent and gives us opportunities to do so.  Ultimately this prophecy points to Christ who is the source of all judgment, justice and grace; and through whom we, as followers of Christ, will have hope even on the day of judgment.
