Unity Lessons in the Remodel

Chris Wall • I Chronicles 23:1-6

The Chronicler is moving and motivating a new generation of God’s people to re-build the temple. We must not forget the context of this book is written to God’s people coming out of exile. They are literally living out a miracle as they come together for this remodel. At first glance, these chapters reveal a lengthy section of the
names and duties of those who held responsibilities during David’s reign. The focus is on the temple, its priests, and attendants, though military leaders are also briefly mentioned. However, the Chronicler outlines these jobs and highlights these responsibilities so that an entirely new generation live out a real miracle as they re-build the temple. Let’s not miss the miracle lessons in the remodel of the temple.
