Melbourne, Australia.
| "Haggai and Zechariah are called to
encourage this dispirited people. Their religious and social hope had been
embodied in great political events. Now, other events seem to have
overtaken those earlier hopes. How were these people to cope with
disappointment?" |

Lectionary
Commentary and Preaching Paths, Pentecost C23, Dennis Bratcher, Christian
Resource Institute.
| "Haggai was willing to dream God’s dream. He was
willing to look beyond the present circumstances and see what could
be, willing to look beyond the present failures and invest in a
future based on God’s action in the world, and on the fact that God
had again chosen a people through which to reveal himself! And
Haggai was willing to put out the effort to work as if what ought to
be really could be!" |

| "Haggai is deeply concerned because the
people are failing to begin the task of rebuilding the temple. He suggests
