Repairing the Breaches

Isaiah understood that those who would repair the breaches in society would need God’s direction and power. Jesus spoke to his disciples of the need to pursue what was righteous — by speaking the truth and living in harmony with God’s laws. The gospel writers contrasted the lifestyle of those who would repair the breach between God and humanity, with those who were self-serving and disobedient, the false teachers. Paul encouraged believers to embrace their role of restoring the paths of God. They needed to be motivated by love and a spirit of service, so they could use God’s wisdom and their spiritual gifts to bring healing — repairing the breaches and rebuilding what had been destroyed. Will we be prepared to help restore the breaches when the Lord God establishes the Messianic Kingdom?
