Jesaja 60:4

Deur die eeue heen het die blote gedagte aan Jerusalem die diepste gevoelens in Jode sowel as Christene geroer. Jerusalem, die stad van die lewende God! Jesus het geween oor die stad Jerusalem waarbinne die tempel van die Here gestaan het. Daar word in die Bybel in die geskiedenis van, en profesieë oor, Israel na die vier tempels verwys waarna ons gaan kyk in hierdie plan.

Jesus reveals himself in Scripture as creator (at the beginning of time), carpenter (with his birth into the home of Joseph), gardener (at the resurrection), and king (in the new Jerusalem). This plan will lead you to a deeper appreciation for each of these appearances and what they mean for the work you do each day.

People often say, “Give God your burdens.” Do you ever wonder: How do I do that? The brokenness of the world feels too heavy. And as much as you desire to shine the light of Jesus, you wonder what that looks like when you struggle to see the light yourself. This devotional looks at how we can be lights for Jesus even when our own world feels dark.
