TEACH YOUR CHILDREN - Jotham Remained Faithful Despite Troubles at Home

 WHEN a parent turns away from the true God, Jehovah, it can make life hard for a child. Let's talk about Jothak.  We'll learn about all the troubles he faced at hom when he was growing up. 

Jotham's father, Uzziah, was the king of Judah.  He was the most powerful man in the country. Uzziah had been a good king for many years, even before Jotham was born.  But later, when Jotham was still young, Uzziah became proud and broke God's Law. So God struck him with leprosy, a bad disease.  Do you know what Jotham did then? 

Jotham kept right on serving Jehovah.  Perhaps his mother, Jerusha, helped him.  Still. it may have been hard for Jotham to remain faithful to Jehovah after his father Uzziah, was turned away from Jehovah's house.
