Ephesians 2- Christ is the one who holds the building together and makes it grow into a holy temple for the Lord.
Ezekiel 6-7-Ezekiel, son of man, tell the people of Israel that I am saying…
Isaiah 40-those who trust the LORD will find new strength.
Psalm 122-Let us go to the house of the LORD!
Matthew 13.3-9, 18-23-Hear then the parable….
Psalm 147-but the LORD takes pleasure in those who hope in his steadfast love
"She would read the Bible and write special notes to people." – A person in Sunday School speaking of someone in the past who was caring and loving towards others. I think this caring and loving that Jesus brought into this world- that Jesus demonstrated so powerfully for all people is the glue or better yet the nails that hold this church together – it holds the church building together and makes the temple of faith grow from day to day- both in each person and in the church as a whole- this powerful love, compassion and caring allows us and makes us bold to go to the house of the LORD! – It makes us want to run to his church- to live in his church and to feel his powerful, love, caring, compassion and grace- we run to church to hear the parables that reflect life of love through Jesus- we take great pleasure in his steadfast love and find new strength- and we hear people just like this lady – through voice and written notes and through a multitude of ways the love of Jesus shine and shout throughout the temple into the world- "She would read the Bible and write special notes to people."- The WORD made flesh and is with us—even in some notes from an old lady reflecting on her Bible.
Prayer- Lord, let me shout your love, compassion and grace to a dark world today. -- Amen
