For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9
Our Mission is to follow through
on Jesus' instructions to His disciples...
He said to them,
“Go into all the world
and preach the gospel to all creation.”

Proverbs 15:17
Better a meal of vegetables
where there is love
than a fattened calf
with hatred.

The story of Judah and Tamar is not a chapter of Scripture that generally preached on a Sunday morning. However, if we believe that “all Scripture is God-breathed,” and it is part of our Bible, rather than avoiding it or taking it on its own, it's important to recognize why it's there and how it fits in the larger narrative.
Steve Yates, has a podcast on “Teaching Tough Passages” to young people. Here are some of his applications for this story.
* “God is faithful to His people and His plan to save.
No matter how crazy the world is even now, his plan isn’t being threatened. God didn’t forget or abandon Tamar in the abuse and mistreatment she received. He provided for her and used her descendants to carry out his plan of salvation for all people.
* That faithfulness comes only because of God’s love, not people’s obedience.
Judah doesn’t deserve his role in David or Jesus’ line. But even Judah’s sin can’t stop God from being who He is – and neither can ours.”
