It Happened at the Temple - Part 4
Consider Your Ways
It Happened at the Temple - Pt 4 - When the Temple was destroyed, most thought it would never be rebuilt. They thought God had given up on His people. He brought them home and gave them the resources to rebuild His house. Yet years passed with no action. Haggai’s challenge to the people, to consider their ways, resonates with us today. There will always be attractive alternatives to obeying God. Obey Him anyway.

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.
