Guardians of the Gate ... and Other Service in God’s House - Part 6

Guardians of the Gate - Part 6

In this series, we join the writer of the Book of Chronicles as he records when God opened the way for his people to return from an enforced exile and to resume their previous temple service for Him in Jerusalem.  Brian Johnston explores the valuable lessons that we can learn from the multi-faceted temple gate-keepers, who were the guards of the temple entrances, the supervising stewards of the people’s contributions, the temple’s night-watchmen, those responsible for admitting into its precincts only those who had a right to be there, the keepers of an inventory of the temple equipment, and the supervisors of the worship ingredients.

Finding Christ in the Old Testament - Part 13: The Sign of Jonah

Finding Christ in the Old Testament - Part 13: The Sign of Jonah

“They said to one another, ‘Were our hearts not burning within us when He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?’” (Lk.24:27:32) Burning hearts! The inevitable result of having the Bible explained so it all begins to make sense and the person and work of Christ, its central character, comes into sharper focus. I used to think it would be wonderful to know what Old Testament incidents, symbols and themes the Lord unpacked for them. The way to do it seems obvious now! Wouldn't they be the same things that he and his Apostles spoke about - things that were later recorded and expounded in the New Testament? This series is the result of that thought process and picks up on these themes using as near as possible the order in which we encounter them in the Old Testament.

A Greater Sense of God - Part 12: Responding to Revelation

A Greater Sense of God - Part 12: Responding to Revelation

On January 28, 1986, 7 Space Shuttle Challenger astronauts exited gravity and entered eternity. President Reagan gave quite a speech that day, paraphrasing the poetry of an Air Force volunteer: they “slipped the surly bonds of earth … and touched the face of God.” To touch the face of God suggests intimacy, as with someone we know well. In the Bible, we often find expressions such as “seeking God’s face” to describe prayer, and occasionally “the softening of his face” which suggests soothing, possibly by touching. One of the most amazing revelations about God in the Bible is that he wants you and me to become intimate with him - and the goal of this book, starting with God’s revelation to the prophet Ezekiel, is quite simply to help that become a reality.
