Christ's Passion, Our Peace

For God to live among sinful people is remarkable. For us to have access to him is wonderful. This is what Israel had in their temple. Anyone who uses this ‘space’ to play their own power games will discover the passion Jesus has for his Father’s house or temple. This passion did, in fact, consume Jesus, that is, he died for it. He stopped at nothing to bring his Father’s grace into the world.
Israel’s old temple prepared the way for what we now have—the body of Christ, through which we have seen God present among us, winning his victory, providing atonement, giving us a place to pray and a truth to proclaim. Nothing you or I do in this ‘space’ must get in the road of others seeing what God has revealed.
