Words of Glory - Week 3
Part 3: The One Who Knows
If you were scheduled for brain surgery, would you try to tell the surgeon how to do his job? Yet we try to micromanage God, who has an infinitely larger, more complex responsibility, and infinitely more knowledge. This doxology comes after a difficult section of a theologically dense book. It’s Paul’s way of saying, “God has figured out how to do the impossible, saving both Jews and Gentiles. He can handle whatever you are worried about.”

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.
