Revelation 21:2 and 22 says, "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, and I saw the holy city Jerusalem coming down from heaven.....and there was no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God Almighty and Jesus, the Lamb."
"John saw in his revelation of the new heaven there was no physical temple building because Jesus would be the temple within those who love Him. We don't go to the temple; Jesus comes to us as His Holy Spirit and dwells within us.
'There is no sacred building for us to go to find and worship Jesus, because He lives in you and me. His Spirit abodes in us, His people. Paul said "Did you not know that your very body is the temple of the Holy Spirit?" Because Jesus lives in and with me, I never need question if this is God's will, for he will direct my ways and light my path as I let go of my old need to control and grasp my trust in Him.
"Lord. we give you praise and thanks that you have placed the Temple of your Holy Spirit within me and all others who love you. And we give you thanks for those who teach us of you and help us to worship you together in our churches. Amen."
In this new year on its way, we are thankful for God and His goodness and for His plans for His people. We hold each other fast in our hearts.
