Though Fear Had Come Upon Them
Stan Cox

When the remnant was allowed to return to the promised land following the Jew’s 70 years in Babylon, the people settled in the cities that were initially theirs before the captivity. However, we are told in the seventh month, they with one accord traveled to Jerusalem. On that occasion leaders of the people had an altar built to offer sacrifices to God. This despite the fact that the foundations for a new temple had not yet been laid. It was important for them to begin their worship of God. We are told, “Though fear had come upon them because of the people of those countries, they set the altar on its bases; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the Lord, both the morning and the evening offerings” (Ezra 3:3).

Opposition from the Gentiles in the land was fierce. This is seen clearly from details supplied concerning the rebuilding of the temple and the city walls. However, in these early days the zeal of the people was commendable and they determined to do God’s will despite their fear of reprisal.

This attitude was mimicked by the apostles in the early history of the church (Acts 4 & 5). They determined, though threatened by the Jewish leaders, to serve God without compromise in their preaching of the gospel.

Great examples for us! What about you?

According to Each Man's Need
Stan Cox

An interesting aspect of Moses’ institution of the first Passover feast, as God prepared to take them from Egypt and its bo***ge is a statement of accommodation in Exodus 12:3. Moses related God’s command that one lamb per household be offered as a part of Passover. However, in verse 4 God instructed Moses, “And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man’s need you shall make your count for the lamb” (Exodus 12:4).

Two thoughts to consider here. First, God understood the privation of the people, and was willing to make accommodations to those who were too poor (their household “too small”) to offer a full lamb. By application, we know that God will accommodate any limitations we ourselves have. For example, if we are poor (just like the widow with two mites, Mark 12:41-44), God does not require what we are incapable of offering. This principle is true with our health, age, talent, and any other aspect of our service to Him. He only requires what we can offer.

Second, God accommodates our needs, but that does not give us an excuse not to strive for zeal and liberality in our service to Him. You must not try to take advantage of God!

Our Lord and Savior
by Stan Cox

His name is Jesus. His earthly family consisted of a carpenter named Joseph, and his young wife Mary. We don’t know much about Jesus’ youth. We know at an important age for a Jewish boy, 12, He visited Jerusalem for Passover.

We know nothing more about Jesus’ earthly life until He became an itinerant preacher at about age 30. Within three years His teaching and claims incensed the Jewish leaders, who prevailed upon the govenor of Judea, Pontius Pilate, to crucify Him on a cross between two other criminals.

In His life Jesus never traveled more than 150 miles from the place of His birth. He never owned His own home, never had wealth, and traveled in His ministry with 12 ordinary men, who were recognized as uneducated Galileans. He was buried in a tomb purchased by a friend.

What none of these modest facts about Jesus’ physical life tell us, is the significance of His birth and death, shown by His resurrection from the dead and His exaltation to God’s right hand.

Jesus was not just a man. He is God’s only begotten Son, sent from His Father to earth to redeem mankind. The scripture says, “But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son” (Galatians 4:4). Jesus was not only a man, He is our Lord and our Savior!
