1 Chronicles 3In the center of this three chapter genealogy is the line of David. Long after the demise of the Davidic monarchy, records of David’s line are kept and published. There is still hope that a man will come from Judah’s line who will bring restoration and peace to this troubled people. Every story in the Chronicles is a reminder that God is at work in the lives of these people, but they are a dysfunctional lot. The redeemer has not come yet.
So, today, there is a similar outlook with the church. Our God is at work in our lives, but there is a missing piece to the puzzle. The church is dysfunctional, but she exists. Some become disappointed with the church and separate themselves from her, but she is the bride of Christ. He is coming back for her.
LORD, give us the courage to be and stay faithful to your bride.
