Take time with your family to discuss these questions (or variations of these questions) together, and reflect on this week’s truth and Word.
1. Question: Why wouldn’t someone want to marry Gomer? Why did God ask Hosea to marry her? What did God want to show his people through their marriage?
Takeaway: Just like Gomer broke her promises to love Hosea, God’s people have broken their promises to love and obey God.
2. Question: How were God’s people and Gomer alike? What did they both deserve because of their sin?
Takeaway: Because of their sin, God’s people (like Gomer) do not deserve to be welcomed and loved.
3. Question: How does the story of Hosea and Gomer end? What does Hosea’s love for Gomer tell us about God’s love for his people?
Takeaway: The story of Hosea and Gomer is a picture of how God loves
his unlovely people.
4. Question: Who did God send to show us how much he loved us? How did Jesus show us his love? How can we be welcomed as God’s children even though we have sinned and broken our promises to God?
Takeaway: Because Jesus loved us and died for our sin, we can be welcomed as God’s children.
