Deeper Reflection
It was backbreaking work under the hot sun! Eliashib the high priest
rolled up his sleeves and constructed the Sheep Gate. Next to him
were the men of Jericho, next to them was Zaccur, next to him were
the sons of Hassenaah and then the list went on and on. Generations
laboured next to each other to rebuild the walls. They passed on an
important legacy to future generations so they could be protected from
their enemies.The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus came so that
generations of disciples may have abundant life. The Gospel was passed
on from Timothy’s grandmother, Lois, to his mother, Eunice, and then
to him. Timothy’s heart was captivated by the Word of God handed
down through the generations and God’s abundant life lived out
faithfully through the generations.The Lord Jesus is coming again soon! There is an urgent need for
the Gospel to be proclaimed and lived out boldly in the nations, so
that all generations will be saved and discipled! As a result, there are
many movements birthed by the Spirit where generations move out to
unreached and unengaged peoples so that they are saved and discipled.
This work continues all over the world. “Broken walls” are being rebuilt
and more generations are returning to God’s hands!Will you pass the Gospel into someone else’s hands?
