The Capital City Faith

Sunday, October 2, 2022

Why did Messiah die and rise in Jerusalem? Jerusalem is the capital city, the center of Israel, and of everything Jewish. It's the center of the Law; of the worship of God. It was the center of offerings, sacrifices and gifts. It was the center of the priesthood. Jerusalem was connected to every part of Israel because it was the center, and every part of Israel was connected to Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the center of world news; of world history. It's the center of really everything. Messiah died and rose in Jerusalem because Jerusalem is the center, and Messiah is the central figure of history and the central event of eternity. This central fact has to be the center of our lives. It took place in Jerusalem to tell us it's the center. It has to be the center of our hearts. There's only one center, Messiah crucified and risen. It all happened in Jerusalem. Whatever is there, that's the center. Come back to Calvary, because when the center becomes your center, then everything else in your life will fall into place.
