His True Identity and His True Mission
It is sad that many people, even those who profess faith in Jesus Christ, remain so skeptical about him. About less important matters, people readily believe much of what they are told. This is what gives the media such powerful influence over society. Rumors spread like wildfire and are often accepted. People believe many theories and unfounded speculations, and they freely share them through their social networks. The Lord looks at spiritual ruins differently than we do. Where we see shameful failure and lost opportunities, he sees a future more glorious than ever. He looks at our hearts and says, "Greater will be the future glory of this house than the former." He reminds us that we are not working by ourselves. On our own strength, we could never build the temple worthy of the glory of the Lord. No, he encourages us strongly 'to take courage' and get 'to work' because he is with us, as he promised. "My Spirit continues in your midst ---- do not fear!"♥
