AmaZing Zealous Love

We’ve come to the end our “His AmaZing Love from A-Z” journey! Thanks to everyone who stuck with me as I tried in my feeble way to describe 26 glorious aspects of the love of God for us.

Today’s word is zeal, and the scripture I’m examining is John 2:17, which says this:

“Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.”

The word translated zeal in the original language means “heat” or “fervent mind.”

Students who’ve been in my classes know how I’ve studied and found that fervent means “white-hot passion.”

Zeal equals passion.

Jesus was full of zeal for the house of God. So much so, He drove out those who were corrupting it. It was a very humbling day for cheating money-changers  when He had had enough! (Visit the link here and read all about it!)

Since the resurrection of Christ, He has come to live in the hearts of believers, making US the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God,
and you are not your own?For you were bought at a price;
therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit,
which are God’s.1 Corinthians 6:19-20

As zealous as He was about the brick and mortar temple, so He is about the body and spirit of the believer.

It’s the most AmaZing love ever!
