The Grace of Christ be with you!
How does a faith based on the fulfillment of promises survive their loss? God’s promises to Abraham & Sarah of land & a great nation which grew to include the Temple in Jerusalem and a son of David on the throne were all loss in the exile. A remnant of the people was eventually allowed to return to the Promised Land yet Jerusalem and the temple were in ruins. Can these bones live indeed!
Can these bones (the church) live?
-
Time allows for everything to decay & die.
-
Time allows temptation to undermine faith.
-
Time works against God’s & our creations.
Can promises of God yet help church thrive?
-
God’s promises put time to work for church.
-
Time allows Christ to seek & save the lost.
-
Time now allows church to prune & grow.
-
Time moves church closer to Christ’s return.
-
Time allows church to quip all for ministry &
-
Time to mobilize its members in outreach
According to Ezekiel, Israel during its exile was like a valley of dry bones. The church, too, faces the challenge of losing its vitality when it rests on its laurels. One may wonder, though, when people “shop” for a church that inspires them are they being passive? What happens if the church seeks instead to equip people for ministry and ask God to breathe life into their work? We thrive if we put the bones (parts) together first & call on God to bless our church?
Blessings, Will
