It Happened at the Temple - Part 11
The Temple 2.0
It Happened at the Temple - Pt 11 - The Jerusalem Temple was destroyed in 70 AD, just as Jesus foretold. It has never been rebuilt. That’s because the permanent Temple is already here, in the Body of Christ. We are now the place where redemption happens. Will we reject the idols of this world, overcome our own insecurities, and draw people to Him?

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.
