Part 7: The Once and Future King
He redeemed us with His blood. He made us priests of God. He is coming back, and every eye will see Him. We should be excited about the return of Jesus, not only because of what it means for us, but because we can’t wait to see Him receive the glory He deserves.
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.
