Encouraging words!

Encouragement! That is the message Zechariah brings to the returnees from Babylonian exile. He encourages the rebuilding of the temple, not just for worship now, but for the coming Messiah! Zechariah is a contemporary of Haggai, who we just read. Haggai used rebuking to get the people motivated to build the temple. Zech uses encouragement. Great point: we are put on this earth not to see through one another, but to see one another through! Have a great Sunday and pass some encouragement along!
