Jesus is the ultimate temple in which God’s presence dwells with his people. “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” – John 1:14, 2:19 |
We join in the building of God’s new temple as we seek to expand the church by the Spirit’s power. “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?” – 1 Corinthians 3:16 |
In the building of God’s new temple, are you more a craftsman builder or a construction-site golfer? Do you ever recognize that you are on God’s construction crew, building a glorious temple whose building site is the whole earth? What kind of building materials should we use for this new temple? Where do we get them?
