Todayโ€™s Devotional: โ€œThe One True Godโ€

In a powerful and poetic way, Psalm 82 declares the one true ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ and distinguishes Him from the many so-called ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜€.

While ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜€ is often a reference to idols throughout Scripture, in this psalm these so-called ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜€ are identified as powerful rulers of Israel who are part of the congregation of ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ, namely, the people of ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ. Though these rulers can be called ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜€ because they have a semblance of power, they are inferior to ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ because He truly stands over them.

While they have human authority, ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ condemns them for wielding it โ€œunrighteouslyโ€ and showing โ€œpartiality to the wickedโ€ (82:2). While they position themselves as ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜€, ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ mocks them since they will die like mortal men (82:6โ€“7). While they are supposed to be judges (82:2), ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ will be the only one to judge the earth (82:8). The failing authority of manโ€”these so-called ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜€โ€”amplifies the true authority of ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ.

Appealing to this psalm in John 10:34โ€“36, Jesus distinguished between the authority of men and the authority of ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ. He noted that if men who have limited authority can be called ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜€ (John 10:35), then ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ who has absolute authority must be acknowledged as the one and only true ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ (10:36). Applying this to Himself, Jesus said that if the rulers in His day could be called ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜€ on account of their limited authority, how much more should He be confessed as ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ for demonstrating full authority over all creation. If those in Christโ€™s day had seen the lesser authority of ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜€, His power showed His ultimate authority as ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ Himself.

The only proper response we can have to Jesus is captured in Thomasโ€™ words: โ€œMy Lord and my ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ!โ€ (John 20:28).

Dust jacket or no? Which look do you prefer for the MacArthur Old Testament Commentary on Zechariah?

Either way, this verse-by-verse expository commentary, based on thorough exegesis in the original languages, presents the meaning and theology of this vital prophetic book with accuracy, precision, and clarity.

โ€œThroughout his life, Daniel exemplified steadfast commitment to prayer.... Daniel 9 features the monumental content of one of his prayers. In this prayer, Daniel displayed wholehearted dependence on the sovereignty of God as well as a deep sense of the sinfulness that marked him and his people. As one of the richest Old Testament passages on prayer, Daniel 9:1โ€“19 provides a model for subsequent generations of believers to emulate.โ€

Todayโ€™s Devotional: โ€œA Second Exodusโ€

Our God is a God of deliverance, and He displayed His mighty work of deliverance in the Exodus of Israel from Egypt. Even the words He commanded Moses to speak to Pharaoh revealed His saving characterโ€”those famous words: โ€œ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐— ๐˜† people ๐—ด๐—ผโ€ (Exod 5:1). Because God saved Israel with these words, they came to represent Israelโ€™s Exodus.

When God later echoed these words in reference to Israel in exile, He invoked His character and work of deliverance yet again. Speaking of Cyrus, God announced that this Persian king would โ€œ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐— ๐˜† exiles ๐—ด๐—ผโ€ (Isa 45:13). As God uttered these words, He declared that Cyrus would repeat what had been done in the initial Exodus. God would achieve a โ€œsecond Exodusโ€ as He duplicated His deliverance of the Exodus from Egypt, only in a grander way.

Yet, Godโ€™s work through Cyrus to send Israel back home would only be a foretaste of what He will ultimately achieve when He completes the second Exodusโ€”when He redeems and restores Israel both physically and spiritually at the end of time. At the ultimate fulfillment of the second Exodus, Israelโ€™s spiritual deliverance will anchor their physical return in the land God had promised them (44:3).

While spiritual deliverance has come in Christ, we still await the fullness of a second Exodus. We are exiles as we await Christโ€™s return (1 Pet 1:1). But we know that God will one day exact a deliverance amidst signs and wonders that correspond to and even exceed the initial Exodus (Rev 6โ€“9). He will ensure that the enemy will ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐˜ His people ๐—ด๐—ผ, and they will be with God forever.

In the pivotal chapter of John 3, Jesus instructs Nicodemusโ€•and all of usโ€•in the spiritual necessity of the new birth. Explaining the clear divide between true, saving faith and self-righteous religion, Jesus reveals that no amount of moral effort, religious knowledge, or personal achievement can bring a person into the kingdom of God. Unless sinners confess Christโ€™s lordship, and repent of all sin, including the sin of trying to earn heaven, they cannot be saved.

Todayโ€™s Devotional: โ€œA Theology of the Temple, Part 1โ€

In 1 Chronicles 28:11, โ€œDavid gave to his son Solomon the ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ปโ€ for the temple and its implements. Including this detail in the text, the author of Chronicles revealed the theological significance of the temple.

While David gave his son Solomon the ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป for the temple, God had previously given Moses the ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป for the tabernacle (Exod 25:9, 40). Reflecting on this detail, the author of Hebrews declared that such a ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป demonstrated that the temple was โ€œa copy and shadow of the heavenly thingsโ€ (Heb 8:1โ€“2; 8:5).

So, God revealed a heavenly ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป to Moses for the tabernacle, David passed that ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป on to Solomon for the temple, and in light of this the author of Hebrews explained the theological nature of the temple: it is the revelation of heaven and the bringing of heaven to earth. The temple declares that Godโ€™s presence is not just in heaven but also on earth. He is with His people. The temple depicts the loftiness of God and the holiness of worship. The temple also holds out hope that one day heaven will join with earth even as Godโ€™s glory will fill this earth (Isa 6:3), and God will be honored by all creation. God assures us of these truths through a temple that is ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฑ after Godโ€™s dwelling in heaven.
