Suggested Bible Study and Prayers
(Passages that we will refer to in next Sunday's worship)
__ Ezekiel 42
O God in Heaven, when we are brought to Your temple above, where will we will live, and how will we serve You there? We know that we will be as priests forever. Even now we are among the priesthood of all who believe. What will it be like for us to be in the secure company of holy men and angels forever? In Your house above there are many mansions. Each chamber in Your temple must be like a mansion in its holiness and glory. We look forward to the provision of holy garments for our life above. Even now we have been clothed with the garments of the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ. How could there be any better clothing for us? Yet our perfect garments above will be visible. What a glorious thought!
__ Psalm 99
Lord Almighty, You are High and lifted up. You love justice. We should worship You always. You have raised up men to worship You in days gone by. You are alive today, and You are holy forever.
__ Isaiah 52
Come in strength, O God, in the garments of Your power. We were sold for nothing, but we have been redeemed through the precious blood of the Lamb. Speak in the voice of Your gospel herald soon. Let the weary come again to Zion, that we might sing to our God. Your arm is strong. Show us Your salvation. Release us from the filthy chains of wickedness and be our God. Thank You for Your amazing Servant. He is our strength.
__ Isaiah 53
O Lord, so many have ignored the truth of Your grace. So many were offended by the lowliness of our holy King. How is it that men would dare to despise Jesus, who was wounded for our transgressions? Thank You for this great truth: that the Shepherd died for the sheep. The One who was oppressed and afflicted in silence, now lives forever in the strength of resurrection power. When He is seen again, every knee shall bow before Him who was an offering for sin. He has justified many by His knowledge. He has carried our guilt. Through the strength of His death, and through His intercession for us, we have been saved.
