Context of 1 Chronicles 29:13
11Lord, you are great, powerful and beautiful! You rule as king over everything in heaven and on earth. Yes, Lord, everything belongs in your kingdom! 12You are the one who gives people riches and honour. You rule over everything. You have great strength and power, so you are able to make people strong and famous. So we thank you, our God. We praise your great name! 14But I and my people are like nothing. How are we able to give all these gifts to help your work? Everything that we have comes from you. So we are giving back to you things that already belong to you. 15We are like strangers and foreign people who live in your world. Our ancestors also lived in that way. We live here only for a short time and then we disappear, like a shadow. We know that we will die one day.

But the unsearchable riches of Christ exceed the splendour of the temple, infinitely more than that surpassed the meanest cottage on earth. Instead of boasting of these large oblations, David gave solemn thanks to the Lord. All they gave for the Lord's temple was his own; if they attempted…Read the comment
