Self Examination
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Let us be mindful not to fall into disobedience as the nation of Israel did after being released from Babylonian captivity. Upon their return to Jerusalem, they were instructed to rebuild the temple of God, the sacred place where they were to offer sacrifices for the remission of their sins. Initially, they approached this task with great enthusiasm, but over time, they became distracted. They began to focus more on their own homes while the house of God remained in ruins.
