    Restore Us, O Lord God

    Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Dec 5, 2005
    based on 15 ratings
     | 21,737 views

    This text is a prayer of desperation! It is the prayer of people who were once used to having God’s presence and God’s power – that power being long absent and sorely missed. It is the prayer of one out of touch with God.

    Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock! You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh. Stir up your might, and come to save us! Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved. O LORD God of hosts, ...read more

    There are similarities between the start of John's gospel and Genesis, culminating with water into wine on the 7th day (see full text for explanation). I believe this miraculous sign reveals the glory of Jesus and says the best is yet to come.

    Christ Church - the best is yet to come! John’s gospel focuses upon signs that pointed to, and revealed the identity and glory of Jesus (2:11); and towards the end of his gospel John states why he wrote his book: ‘Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, ...read more
