"Here is the man whose name is Branch ... He will
rebuild the Lord's Temple" (Zechariah 6:12), We read these words. We
think of Jesus and His promise, "I will build My Church, and the gates
of hell will not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18). The servants of
the Lord are sent out to different places (Zechariah 6:1-7). The
"Spirit" of the Lord goes with them (Zechariah 6:8). It is the Spirit of
the Lord who brings blessing when the Word of the Lord is preached.
"Those who are far away will come and rebuild the Lord's Temple"
(Zechariah 6:15). By ourselves, we are "far away" - far from God.
Through Christ, we have been brought near - near to God. By His grace,
he has saved us. By His grace,He will use us in the rebuilding of His
Temple. There will be blessing when we are fully obedient to the Lord -
This will happen if you obey the Lord your God completely" (Zechariah
6:15). Lord, lead us on to a closer walk with You and a fruitful witness
for You.
