Summary

Today is Monday, October 28, 2019 and here is your Daily Devo. It is easy to hail King Josiah as a great reformer. No doubt, he was certainly a gifted leader. But our real takeaway from this man was his repentance—his personal turning away from evil things and moving toward the light. Repentance for salvation is a one-time act, but for a fully engaged, dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ, repentance must happen again and again.  In his repentance, Josiah attempted to restore the temple, but that temple still crumbled. We have a greater temple through the blood of Jesus Christ. Because God longs to dwell with His people, He came to us in His Son and, through faith, has sealed us in His Spirit. We are now God’s temple, and nothing can separate us from His love. This gospel story of relentless love is what draws us back into repentance and faithful living again and again.  Think about this: Why do we find it difficult sometimes to talk about repentance? What are some similarities between Josiah’s desire to restore the temple and the New Testament’s teaching that God’s people are now the temple where the Holy Spirit resides?  Thank you for listening to the Daily Devo.

Episode Description

Today is Monday, October 28, 2019 and here is your Daily Devo.

It is easy to hail King Josiah as a great reformer. No doubt, he was certainly a gifted leader. But our real takeaway from this man was his repentance—his personal turning away from evil things and moving toward the light. Repentance for salvation is a one-time act, but for a fully engaged, dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ, repentance must happen again and again.

In his repentance, Josiah attempted to restore the temple, but that temple still crumbled. We have a greater temple through the blood of Jesus Christ. Because God longs to dwell with His people, He came to us in His Son and, through faith, has sealed us in His Spirit. We are now God’s temple, and nothing can separate us from His love. This gospel story of relentless love is what draws us back into repentance and faithful living again and again.

Think about this: Why do we find it difficult sometimes to talk about repentance? What are some similarities between Josiah’s desire to restore the temple and the New Testament’s teaching that God’s people are now the temple where the Holy Spirit resides?
