Green Pastures Not Just Green Rooms

As people are returning to the church in droves and herds, God is caring for His sheep and is bringing correction where it is needed. Ezekiel 34 talks about God judging between sheep who gorge on the grass and water, and then leave it tramped and muddy for the others. The house of God belongs to Jesus. It’s not meant to be a preferential, careless stomping ground for a select few. God will correct the places where the holy concept of honor has been abused, meals of love left unserved, and starving sheep have wandered off. He is cleaning house and bringing correction because people are coming back and new ones are arriving. Jesus wants the pastures to be green and water clear for all, not just a special select group. Cliques and green rooms aren’t inherently bad. Jesus had a small circle and a circle within the circle for certain activities. He went away to pray and be alone. But He loved all of His sheep. And made sure everybody ate.If you are worried to go to church, don’t be. He’s working. Jesus is purifying His church and with good reason. He’s coming for her.
