Temple Rebuilding Restores Worship
- The rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem restored the proper worship and sacrifice as prescribed by Moses.
- This was central because the temple was God's dwelling and worship gave glory to God.
Weeping at New Temple's Foundation
- Some elders who remembered the original temple wept because the new foundation was smaller and less glorious.
- This grief illustrates the challenge of appreciating God's work in the present when compared to an idealized past.
Danger of Being Stuck in Past
- The elders’ mourning can become a trap if it causes them to be stuck in the past.
- Failing to see what God is doing now prevents us from experiencing His ongoing work in our lives.
