This week we will be covering the story of Jephthah and his infamous "vow" in Judges 11. There are a few places in Judges that the irony is quite on-the-nose, and Jephthah's vow is one example. Jephthah makes a rash vow, one that harms his daughter (his only child), one that ends his family line, and one that offends God. But consider the gloriously-different example of Christ: the One offered up...
