Morning: Psalms 42, 43; I Samuel 2:1-10; John 8:31-46
Evening: Psalms 48, 87; Haggai 2:1-9; John 3:1-8
Solomon
built the Jerusalem Temple, the ‘Holy House’, in 957BCE. In 520 BCE,
it was in ruins, and Haggai called the people to rebuild it. Herod
rebuilt it again in the time of Jesus. The Temple was where you
encountered God; Jesus’ parents took him there. But the Romans
destroyed it finally in 70AD; it was never rebuilt. Does it help to
think of the world now as the ‘Holy House’? Economics (oikonomia in Greek) means caring for the house (oikos). Human economics is ruining the ‘holy house’ of the world. Haggai would call us to quit and start rebuilding.
