Sometimes, when you listen to the stories of young people leaving church, you realize they aren’t really leaving Jesus. They’re leaving the counterfeit version of Christianity they were taught as kids. This is nothing new: Even in Paul’s day, Christians were adding to the Gospel, changing it from good news to bad religion that couldn’t save anyone. We’ll see how to tell if you’re practicing the faith of Jesus or something different. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
When our bond with God was severed by our sin, He didn’t give up on us. He made a second Eden, a place for us to meet with Him and be redeemed. That place was the Temple, and the events that happened there teach us about a God who is mighty to save, the cost of our sin, and His plans for us.
