Lord, Show Us The Father-3 "Zeal For Your House"

Jesus told his disciples, "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father." (John 14:9 NIV)

Here's something he showed us about the Father. When Jesus revealed his analysis of the Seven Churches of Asia in Revelation 2:1 - 3:22, the church at Laodicea got an 'F' on their report card. They were the church that sickened Jesus - "So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth.... Therefore be zealous and repent." (Revelation 3:16,19 NASB)

Sadly, lukewarm churches filled with lukewarm Christians still exist. But zeal has always been part of God's nature. When the disciples watched Jesus clear the temple of money changers and marketers, it reminded them of what King Daivd had written - "Zeal for your house will consume me." (John 2:17 NIV)

Since Jesus shows us the Father, then we see in him the Father's zeal for his house, for his people, for his church.

Listen and learn how important zeal is to a satisfying Christian walk.
