August 10, 2025 - Jesus In All | Jesus in Haggai: Jesus, the Desire of Nations

The prophecy of Haggai comes in a moment of significant disillusionment. The people of Israel, returning from exile, found themselves discouraged by the seemingly unimpressive state of their rebuilt temple. They had returned with great hope, but the reality they faced was far from the glory they expected. Yet, in the midst of this struggle, the prophet Haggai delivers a powerful promise from God: a promise that the nations will come to the “desire of all nations,” and that God’s house will be filled with glory. This promise, although fulfilled in part through the rebuilding of the physical temple, ultimately points to the greater fulfillment in the coming of Jesus Christ.

Today, we explore the profound implications of Haggai 2:7 and how it reveals Jesus as the Desire of Nations. The themes of restoration, glory, and divine fulfillment in Haggai’s prophecy are not just ancient promises, but living truths that speak directly to the church today. Jesus, the desire of all nations, is the fulfillment of God’s glory and the hope of the world.
