“And some of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the house of the LORD which is at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God to set it up in his place:”
Ezra 2:68 KJV
Some of the heads of families, on arriving at The Temple of God in Jerusalem, made Freewill-Offerings toward the rebuilding of The Temple of God on its site. They gave to the building fund as they were able. These were exiled people returning back to Jerusalem who couldn’t have had much. Yet they gave for the rebuilding of the Temple. Today, we believers of the new covenant of the Lord Jesus Christ, are the Temple of God the Holy Spirit Who is building us, the Church, to be the spotless Bride of Christ. Our opportunity is to give cheerfully and generously toward the Kingdom of God. For we know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for our sake He became poor, that we through His poverty might become rich. If exiled people could give free-will offerings, how much more we in the new covenant. Amen!
