2 Chron 4-6 continues the story of Israel's golden age of David/Solomon ruling over a united Kingdom. In this section, King Solomon completes David's temple-building project. The glory cloud representing God's glorious presence in the midst of His people inhabits the temple. The singers praise God for his steadfast love. He has made promises and He has kept them to David.
In John 10:24-42, we see Jesus' continued rebuke of the Pharisees. They are ready to execute Jesus again! He has claimed to be one with the Father. He has claimed to be the Messiah. They are unable to kill him because the time had not yet come. We learn that Jesus is the truth to which the temple pointed forward. If the Father and Jesus are one, then those who are in Christ cannot be snatched out of the Father's hand. How? Namely, because those united to Christ cannot be held back from God's steadfast love even by death: See Romans 8:28-39. If Jesus has overcome death and sin for his people, we will never have to fear losing God's love.

Here is the plan we are using for this series: https://www.christianity.com/bible/year/esv/ojan01.htm
Recap of Content in this video: 2 Chron 1-3 continues the story of Israel's golden age of David/Solomon ruling over a united Kingdom. In this section, Solomon sets out to build the world's most elaborate temple to be a "house" for the name of Lord.
Consider how the work of Christ fulfills this...by his grace, God dwells with freed slaves, like Israel, our true slavery was not Egypt, but our sin. Who are we to be brought out of slavery and into the loving mercies and power of God?
In John 10:1-23, we see Jesus' continued rebuke of the Pharisees. This time he uses a metaphor, "I am the Good Shepherd who lays down his life," which can only make sense because of Jesus' obeying the Father's will to achieve perfect active and passive obedience for our salvation. The unfolding of the glory of God in the work of Christ to save sinners is the center of the message of scripture, not, go and follow Jesus' example. We do not, of course, have the capacity in ourselves to become "fully alive," the Lord brings his transforming presence to us so that we who were once dead in sins may become fully alive!
