We Are God’s Temple

Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 5, 2015

The key to God’s temple is our faith. It keeps us close to God because the Holy Spirit will live in us just like God lived in the temple in ancient Israel. The Holy Spirit assures us that in our relationship with Jesus we can do what he did.

The passage from 1 Corinthians 3:10-11, 16-23 is a continuation of Paul’s discussion with the church at Corinth, but the focus is now on the necessity of unity among believers.

What did the temple symbolize? Let's look further in 1 Kings 6.

How long did it take to finish the temple in Jerusalem? If the temple pictures us, could it also picture the temple in heaven? Let’s look at 1 Kings 6. What were the dimensions of the Temple that Solomon built? A cubit is roughly half a meter or half a yard. So the Temple was roughly 30x10x15 ...read more

Reflection

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Mar 13, 2012

Jesus' cleansing of the temple graphically proclaims that the temple was no only needed. Jesus is the the temple and with the Holy Spirit in us, we become a temple. God is among his people, bringing in his kingdom.

John 2:13-22 “Reflection” INTRODUCTION I have always found the scene of Jesus cleansing the temple puzzling, if not troubling. It seems so out of character for Jesus. Certainly, he has shown anger before at the hardheartedness and judgmentalism of some people, but he has never ...read more
