Zeal for God’s House

 

Psalm 69:9 (NIV)
Zeal for your house consumes me.

 


We associate this Old Testament verse with the New Testament story of Jesus clearing the profiteers out of the Temple courts (John 2:14-17). Jesus also demonstrated his zeal for God’s house when He went missing at age 12.

Luke 2:46, 49
After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions …

“Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”

This Christmas, show your zeal for God’s house. Be like Jesus. Come and worship.
