Indeed, the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have observed the command of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not listened to Me.'"'This family had been faithful. For some reason, their ancestor had commanded them not to drink wine or build houses or grow crops, and they had followed that command ever since. No reason for the command was given, but they still obeyed.
That family obeyed their forefather, but the people would not obey God. A man gave his kids instruction and they listened, but the people wouldn't listen to the one who had saved them from captivity. God told them all the things He would do if they obeyed, and still they would not. Why is it so much easier to listen to a person we know, than the God we know only dimly?
