Ecc. 5, Imperial "Forbidden" City

By Pastor Jim - Posted on 03 March 2009

Today we visited the Imperial "Forbidden" City in Beijing. We reflected on how the once supremely exclusive domain of the Emperor is now accessible to the multitudes. Moreover, it has greatly deteriorated because of time, pollution and the visiting multitudes. First Peter speaks of an inheritance that will never perish, spoil or fade. The dynasties of the great emperors have perished, spoiled, and faded. As "awesome" as the forbidden city was and still is, it pales in comparison to the eternal, uncorruptable Kingdom of God. As our passage for today demands (v.7), "stand in awe of God."
We're beginning to get over our jet lag. Ezra says "hi."

This is how vs. 12 starts. We'll pray that God gives you all sleep as you labor for the Lord!

Today's Reading

READ Numbers 18:5-7: "You are to be responsible for the care of the sanctuary and the altar, so that wrath will not fall on the Israelites again. I myself have selected your fellow Levites from among the Israelites as a gift to you, dedicated to the LORD to do the work at the Tent of Meeting. But only you and your sons may serve as priests in connection with everything at the altar and inside the curtain. I am giving you the service of the priesthood as a gift. Anyone else who comes near the sanctuary must be put to death."
