Part 5: Seeing Through the Eyes of God
Two men looked upon the same situation. One saw no hope. The other saw that God was in control. When we are afraid, we should ask the Lord to open our eyes. As long as we focus only on what is against us, we will let fear rule. But if we see through the eyes of God, we may find out that the odds are actually in our favor.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
When our bond with God was severed by our sin, He didn’t give up on us. He made a second Eden, a place for us to meet with Him and be redeemed. That place was the Temple, and the events that happened there teach us about a God who is mighty to save, the cost of our sin, and His plans for us.
