The Purpose of the Temple

This Sunday is the Global Day of Prayer, where many Tucsonans will gather at the UofA mall to humble ourselves, pray, seek God, and turn from the things we - as individuals, a nation, and an entire people - know to be evil and that place a divide between God and man. It is a time to "press in" to God, as His people did long ago in His temple.

This week, as we continue in our "Chronicles of History" series, I will revisit II Chronicles chapters 6 and 7, looking closely at the primary purpose of God's temple, and both the people's role in it, and God's role in it. Of course, for those who belong to Jesus, our bodies are the temple of the living God. Where we go, He goes.  The Psalmist says, "Where can I go from you, O Lord?" So as we look into the history of the temple, its imperative that we seek His truth with regard to the temple today: Christ in us, the hope of glory.
I look forward to seeing you Sunday, and being blessed together by His word!
