This sermon continues exploring the night visions the Lord gave to Zechariah to encourage God’s people to build in his kingdom. This vision looks at the vision of an angel that starts out measuring incorrectly. The sermon works to begin to understand the way the Lord has moved at Peace to shape us into a people that are forward-thinking.
There are a number of problems that a modern Christian faces in this Scripture. 1) We are tempted to think too little of the Zacchaeus in the story. 2) We are tempted to think too little of the Jesus in the story. 3) We are tempted to respond too little to the story. This is a sermon that attempts to address those problems and, finally, give each listener a clear view of Jesus.
Many say we live in an age of outrage. We probably do. We can see people expressing anger everywhere. Perhaps though the epidemic runs deeper than we even think. It may be true that the anger that goes unexpressed and even unrecognized in us that ends up destroying our lives the most. James here ministers to that. He teaches us to recognize anger and melts it right down into a peaceful soul life. Listen in!
