2 Chronicles 17 tells us that overall, King Jehoshaphat of Judah walked in God’s commandments. In chapter 18, he foolishly and rebelliously followed the path of wicked king Ahab of Israel, but after being rebuked by a prophet, he returned to the ways of the Lord and led the people to do the same. Jesus had no need to return to God, because he always, perfectly walked in the ways of his Father. But far beyond what Jehoshaphat did for his people, Jesus enables us to return to God, so that we might walk by faith and the Spirit in the good works the Father has already prepared for us to do by his grace.
