“And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.”
Ezra 3:10 KJV
When the workers laid the foundation of The Temple of God, the priests in their robes stood up with trumpets, and the Levites, sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise God in the tradition of David king of Israel. They sang antiphonally praise and thanksgiving to God: Yes! God is good! Oh yes—He’ll never quit loving Israel! In the new covenant Jesus Christ is our foundation. This foundation has already been laid for us to build upon. When the Jews returned from exile to Jerusalem and laid the foundation, they were so happy that they praised God. Now that Christ has laid the foundation of our faith in the finished work of the Cross, we worship Christ as Lord of our life with great joy and happiness. And if someone asks about our hope as a believer, we must be ready to explain it. Let’s have thanksgiving in our heart to Christ, Yes! God is good! Oh yes—He’ll never quit loving us! Amen!
