Hosea 11:1

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Hosea 11:1. When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

God remembers what he did for us when we were young; and sin against him is much aggravated by his long kindness to us. He brings this up against his rebellious people, "When Israel was a child, then I loved him." Some of you may remember your childhood with deep regret - when you used to sing your hymn, and bow your knees on your mother’s lap. Times have greatly changed since then, but God remembers them.
